# Search syntax
|
|
|
|
SearXNG comes with a search syntax by with you can modify the categories,
|
|
engines, languages and more. See the {{link('preferences', 'preferences')}} for
|
|
the list of engines, categories and languages.
|
|
|
|
## `!` select engine and category
|
|
|
|
To set category and/or engine names use a `!` prefix. To give a few 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')}}
|
|
|
|
Abbreviations of the engines and languages are also accepted. Engine/category
|
|
modifiers are chain able and inclusive. E.g. with {{search('!map !ddg !wp
|
|
paris')}} search in map category and DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia for **paris**.
|
|
|
|
## `:` select language
|
|
|
|
To select language filter use a `:` prefix. To give an example:
|
|
|
|
- search Wikipedia by a custom language
|
|
|
|
- {{search(':fr !wp Wau Holland')}}
|
|
|
|
## `!!` external bangs
|
|
|
|
SearXNG supports the external bangs from [DuckDuckGo]. To directly jump to a
|
|
external search page use the `!!` prefix. To give an example:
|
|
|
|
- search Wikipedia by a custom language
|
|
|
|
- {{search('!!wfr Wau Holland')}}
|
|
|
|
Please note, your search will be performed directly in the external search
|
|
engine, SearXNG cannot protect your privacy on this.
