The central control element in Min is the address bar, through which you can send requests to the search engine (default is DuckDuckGo) and search the current page. As you type in the address bar, a summary of relevant information for the current query is generated, such as links to articles on Wikipedia, selections from bookmarks and browsing history, as well as recommendations from the DuckDuckGo search engine. Each page opened in the browser is indexed and becomes available for subsequent searches in the address bar. Commands can also be entered in the address bar to quickly perform actions (for example, "!settings" to go to settings, "!screenshot" to create a screenshot, "!clearhistory" to clear the browsing history, etc.).
