Address Direct and Union Search

Address Direct and Union Search is not a game, it's a lightweight utility tool that fixes a problem every browser user knows too well: modern browsers refuse to just open a URL without trying to turn it into a search. Developed by Alright Peaches Studio, this small, standalone app completely separates "direct URL access" from "multiengine search," giving you back control over how you navigate the web.

What It Actually Does?

You type a full URL into the address bar, hit Enter, and it opens directly in your chosen browser no redirect to a search results page, no "did you mean" suggestions, no fighting with autocomplete. You can even omit the https:// and it will still work.

Beyond direct access, the tool offers three distinct search modes:

Independent search fields- each search engine gets its own text box, so you can type different keywords into Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, or whatever you use without them interfering with each other.

Unified search – select multiple engines, type your keyword once, and every selected engine opens its results page simultaneously.

Fully configurable engine list - you can add, remove, or modify any search engine template using {} as the placeholder for your query. Want to search a niche forum or a custom internal tool? Just add the URL pattern and you're done.

It also handles multiple browsers gracefully. The app automatically detects installed browsers Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Brave, 360, and more plus a "System Default" option, and you can switch between them with a single click for any link or search result.

Privacy and Smart History

The history system is one of the more thoughtful features. Every URL you visit and every keyword you search is logged and sorted by frequency, so the stuff you use most often floats to the top for instant reuse. If you want to keep that history private, you can set a password lock viewing the history requires authentication or disable history logging entirely. There's also a oneclick clear function and a day/night theme toggle for eye comfort.

The interface supports 42 languages out of the box, and the language configuration files can be edited to add even more.

Technical Details

The system requirements are mercifully low. You'll need Windows 10, an Intel Core i55200U or AMD FX8800P, and just 512 MB RAM at minimum. The recommended specs bump that up to Windows 11, an i58265U or Ryzen 7 2700U, and 4 GB RAM. Either way, you'll only need 65 MB of storage space. It runs on basically anything made in the last decade.

Reception

It was released on July 24, 2026. As of now, it has no user reviews on Steam, so there's no consensus yet on how it performs longterm, it's still completely under the radar.

Who's It For?

If you're the kind of user who switches between multiple search engines daily and is tired of browser address bars forcing everything through one default engine, this tool is built for you. If you're frustrated that typing a URL sometimes sends you to a search page instead of the site you wanted, it solves that problem directly. It's also for anyone who wants to open the same search across several engines at once, or several different searches in one browser simultaneously, without installing a pile of browser extensions or digging through complicated settings.

If you just want a lightweight, standalone utility that does one thing well and respects your privacy, this is a cheap and practical addition to your desktop toolkit.

If the game has engaged you, I hope victory is yours!
