I just embedded a search engine into a #Calckey post.

How did I do that?

By typing the following line into a post:

Calckey [search]

Take a look for yourselves here:

calckey.social/notes/9ehzd13dz

Look ma! I’m embedding a search box info #Calckey! Calckey [search] How do you like them apples?

How does anyone *not* get excited about the Fediverse when they discover they can embed a search engine - with pre-populated search terms -- into a status update?

Did Twitter ever let you do that?

No, Twitter didn't even let you edit a post!

@atomicpoet explain please. Most search engines use a GET request, embedding the search terms into the URI, so technically, I can put a predefined search anywhere I can put a URI. Am I missing something?

@atomicpoet ok, I guess, this might be a client thing, but I don't see anything special here (in tusky)

@atomicpoet ah, just saw your opening post on this - so I guess the Web frontend renders the search box right into the post?
Interesting idea.
Not sure what I would use it for, though. Also it seems it's a client side implementation

@pjakobs This is not a web frontend for Mastodon. #Calckey is something quite different.

There's lots of other things you can do with Calckey, such as animations inside a status update.
