  • v0.5.0 26.03.2026

    Added

    • My Filters — Save the current search state (language, time, country, site, filetype, keywords…) as a one-click custom filter with smart auto-naming. Manage or delete saved filters directly from the sidebar.
    • Active Filters HUD — A floating overlay near the search box shows every active filter as a removable chip. Click a chip to remove the filter instantly. Optionally display country flags and site favicons on chips.
    • Exclude Filters — Language, Country, and Site filters now support an exclude mode (e.g., exclude Pinterest from image-related searches or filter out machine-translated content).
    • Multi-select for Language & Country — Language and Country filters now support multi-select checkbox mode, joining Site Search and File Type which already had it. All four are enabled by default.
    • Country Flags & Windows Fix — Display flag emoji next to country options. Flags now render correctly on Windows (Chrome/Edge) via an external flag-icons CSS resource loaded from jsDelivr CDN.
    • Result Stats Placement — Choose to display search result statistics (total results + query time) below the search box or inside the sidebar.
    • Bundled Translations — All 8 interface languages (English, 繁體中文, 日本語, Français, Deutsch, Español, Italiano, Русский) are now built into the script — no external i18n resource required.
