Search syntax
Searx allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search language via the search query.
- Prefix
! to set category or
engine <configured engines>- Prefix:
!! to take you to search results on other sites (also know as
bang <external bang>)- Prefix:
: to set language
- Prefix:
? to add
engines <configured engines>and categories to the currently selected categories
Abbrevations of the engines and languages are also accepted. Engine/category modifiers are chainable and inclusive (e.g. with !it !ddg !wp qwer
<?q=%21it%20%21ddg%20%21wp%20qwer> search in IT category and duckduckgo and wikipedia for qwer).
See the /preferences page <preferences> for the list of engines, categories and languages.
Examples
Bang take you to search results on Wikipedia:
!!w gallileo <?q=%21%21w%20gallileo>
Search in wikipedia for qwer:
!wp qwer <?q=%21wp%20qwer>or!wikipedia qwer :search:<?q=%21wikipedia%20qwer>
Image search:
!images Cthulhu <?q=%21images%20Cthulhu>
Custom language in wikipedia:
:hu !wp hackerspace <?q=%3Ahu%20%21wp%20hackerspace>
Multilingual Search
Searx does not support true multilingual search. You have to use the language prefix in your search query when searching in a different language.
But there is a workaround: By adding a new search engine with a different language, Searx will search in your default and other language.
- Example configuration in settings.yml for a German and English speaker:
search: language : "de" ... engines: - name : google english engine : google language : english ...
When searching, the default google engine will return German results and "google english" will return English results.
