# Search syntax
SearXNG allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search language
via the search query.
Prefix `!` to set category and engine names.
Prefix: `:` to set the language.
Abbrevations of the engines and languages are also accepted. Engine/category
modifiers are chainable and inclusive. E.g. with {{search('!map !ddg !wp paris')}}
search in map category **and** duckduckgo **and** wikipedia for
`paris`.
See the {{link('preferences', 'preferences')}} for the list of engines,
categories and languages.
## Examples
Search in wikipedia for `paris`:
* {{search('!wp paris')}}
* {{search('!wikipedia paris')}}
Search in category `map` for `paris`:
* {{search('!map paris')}}
Image search:
* {{search('!images Wau Holland')}}
Custom language in wikipedia:
* {{search(':fr !wp Wau Holland')}}
