Search syntax

SearXNG allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search language via the search query.

Prefix !

to set Category/engine

Prefix: :

to set language

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

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>
