A quick way to search multiple online encyclopedias is to setup a browser shortcut. For example, assigning :e as the shortcut for EncycloReader in Brave makes it much easier to search from the browser address bar.
Go to Brave -> Settings -> Search Engine
Click Manage search engines
Specify "https://encycloreader.org/" as the search engine, ":e" as the shortcut and "https://encycloreader.org/find.php?query=%s" as the URL.
Note: By default :e is assigned to Ecosia. I changed that definition to :ec before assigning :e to EncycloReader.
Once this has been saved and the settings window closed the search shortcut can be used from the browser's address bar. Begin by typing ":e" in the address bar:
Press the Tab key or Space bar:
Then enter the search terms. These will appear where the | bar is. Press Enter and the search results appear in the main browser window.
