Steemit Manuel Search Tool

Steemit uses Google to search. But this does not always bring the desired results.

For example: I would like to see posts about Price under the Cryptocurrency tag. But Steemit's search function does not answer that.

There are few tools for this problem:
https://www.asksteem.com/ search results are old (1-2 weeks+)
https://steem.kasperfred.com/tagsearch/ its need user name for tag search

But I wanted something like this:

So, I decided to write my own code for Steemit Manuel Search Tool.

If you want to change html: look around line 164
If you don't want to see some users: BlackList.txt
If there are special letters in your local language, you can use this line (1254 for Turkish)
(no need change for english)

inTag = inTag.decode('1254')
searchKey = searchKey.decode('1254')

and you can edit MakeLink function according to your own language. (its in makelink.py)
