Install Kamoo

Two ways to search with Kamoo faster: make it your browser's default search, and add it to your phone so the icon sits on your home screen.

Make Kamoo your default search

Once it's your default, anything you type in the address bar searches with Kamoo. If your browser asks for a search address, use this one:

Kamoo search address

https://kamoo.id/en/search?q=%s

Chrome on a computer
  1. 1Open the ⋮ menu at the top right, then Settings → Search engine → Manage search engines and site search.
  2. 2Next to Site search, click Add. Fill in Search engine with Kamoo, Shortcut with kamoo.id, and URL with the search address above. Click Add.
  3. 3On the Kamoo row, open the ⋮ menu and choose Make default.

Typed kamoo.id into the address bar and searched here before? Kamoo may already be under Inactive shortcuts. Click Activate, then Make default.

Shortcut: type chrome://settings/searchEngines into the address bar.

Chrome on a phone (Android and iPhone)
  1. 1Type kamoo.id straight into the address bar (not through a link), then search for any word on Kamoo.
  2. 2Open the ⋮ or ⋯ menu, then Settings → Search engine.
  3. 3Pick Kamoo under the recently visited ones.

Kamoo only shows up in that list if you searched with it in the last two days. Once picked, it stays your default.

Microsoft Edge on a computer
  1. 1Open the ⋯ menu at the top right, then Settings → Privacy, search, and services → Search and connected experiences → Address bar and search.
  2. 2In the list of search engines, click Add search engine. Name it Kamoo, set the Shortcut to kamoo.id, and the URL to the search address above.
  3. 3On the Kamoo row, open the ⋯ menu and choose Make default.

Shortcut: type edge://settings/search into the address bar.

Edge on phones only offers its built-in search engines. There, add Kamoo to your home screen instead (see below).

Firefox on a computer
  1. 1Open kamoo.id, right-click the address bar, and choose Add “Kamoo”.
  2. 2Open the ≡ menu → Settings → Search, and pick Kamoo under Default Search Engine.

Don't see the option in step one? In Settings → Search, find Additional search engines and click Add search engine. Name it Kamoo and use the search address above as the URL.

Firefox on Android
  1. 1Tap the search engine icon in the address bar, then Search settings → Default search engine → Add search engine.
  2. 2Fill in Name with Kamoo and Search string URL with the search address above, then tap Save.
  3. 3Pick Kamoo as the default search engine.
Safari (Mac, iPhone, iPad)
  1. 1Safari only allows search engines from Apple's built-in list, so Kamoo can't be your default there yet.
  2. 2On a Mac, make Kamoo your home page: open kamoo.id, then Safari → Settings → General → Homepage → Set to Current Page. Also set New tabs open with to Homepage.
  3. 3On iPhone and iPad, add Kamoo to your home screen (see below). One tap and you're at the search box.
Other browsers
  1. Look for a Search engine setting, add a new one, and use the search address above.

Add Kamoo to your phone

Kamoo's icon sits on your home screen, and one tap takes you straight to the search box, no browser bars.

iPhone and iPad (Safari)
  1. 1Open kamoo.id in Safari.
  2. 2Open the Share menu. On recent iOS, first tap the menu button on the left of the address field (or the ⋯ button). On older iOS, the Share button sits right in the bottom bar.
  3. 3Choose Add to Home Screen. If it's not there, scroll down or tap Edit Actions.
