For Firefox on Android (which TenBlueLinks doesn't have listed) add a new search engine and use these settings:

Name: Google Web

Search string URL: https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

~~as @Saltarello@lemmy.world learned before I did, strip the number 25 from the string above so it looks more like this:~~

~~www .google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14~~

~~Edit: Lemmy/Voyager formats this string with 25 at the end. Remove the 25 & save it as a browser search engine~~

~~EDIT: There's got to a Markdown option for disabling markdwon auto-formatting links, right?? The escape backslash seems to not be working for this specifically.~~

EDIT II: Found a nasty hack that does the trick!

https[]()://www.example.com/search?q=%s

appears as:

https://www.example.com/search?q=%s

Lemmy also does code markup with `text`

https://www.google.com/search?q=%25s&udm=14

Indeed, @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone, like so!:

Markup code techniques with triple backticks and new lines or single backticks without any spacings/new lines

Edit, oh is it buggy with parameters per downthread? Interesting
