Can you not just add this as another "search engine" in Firefox for Android? I assume you mean Firefox with FF. I use Mull and there I can define alternative search engines, like so:
Then all you need to do is copy your text, go to browser, set the search bar to use this new "search engine" and paste your text like you'd do for a normal search.
I stumbled across this the other day..
As a shortcut to configuring it, you can go to the site (like Kagi) and if they have a text field to paste into (or a search field) you can generally right click on the field and select ‘add keyword for this search’.. so say you add ‘kagi’ as a search term (in the cmdlet) in the browser address bar you would just type kagi and hit enter
That's probably the easiest thing I've seen so far. Still a bit of a pain when sharing from other apps but I might give it a try.
If you set it as default search engine, it works easily with sharing with the firefox app. But then you have to switch search engines for every time you search something else in that app.
Another workaround could be to install another firefox fork to only use it for this search. You can set up your intended search there and then only use that app for sharing search terms to it.
You can do that with Fennec, Mull and whatever else is out there.
Have a look at Automate (like Tasker but with free features).
It has a Content Shared module as input. Then you can process and output its text. Might be worth a try for what you're trying to do.
URLCheck can do it with its pattern checker module.
I took a quick look and this looks promising but I'm not sure how to use the pattern checker module.
Could you please explain a little more what would be replaced?
Take a look at this wiki page and this file in this repo. There's this item in the file:
"Summarize This": {
"regex1": "^(https?):\/\/(\\S*)$",
"regex": "^(?!.*(smmry.))(.*)",
"replacement": "https:\/\/smmry.com\/$2#&SM_LENGTH=10",
"enabled": "true"
}
Looks like exactly what you want.
The app, URLCheck, is absolutely awesome btw. I have it set as my default browser and now every time I open an url, I can choose which app should open it. And if it's a web browser, I can choose whether I want to open it in the browser tab or in the custom tab in the app. And it can do much more. But you don't have to set it as a default browser, you can just share to it.
If you are on stock Android you are already giving all the data to Google. If you open a page in Chrome or not doesnt really matter.
But maybe try another Chromium browser? Cromite is currently the best for all Android versions, Vanadium only for GrapheneOS
You could also create a custom search engine in Firefox, select it and paste the url as search string
