|
||||
## Technical details - How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
SearXNG is a [metasearch engine], inspired by the [seeks project]. It provides
|
||||
basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without
|
||||
storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser
|
||||
(except Chromium-based browsers*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs,
|
||||
nor your url history. In the case of Chromium-based browser users there is an
|
||||
exception: searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests. SearXNG can be
|
||||
added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default
|
||||
search engine.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to set as the default search engine?

SearXNG supports [OpenSearch]. For more information on changing your default
|
||||
search engine, see your browser's documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Firefox]
|
||||
* [Microsoft Edge]
|
||||
* Chromium-based browsers [only add websites that the user navigates to without
|
||||
a path.](https://www.chromium.org/tab-to-search)

||||
- [Firefox]
|
||||
- [Microsoft Edge] - Behind the link, you will also find some useful instructions
|
||||
for Chrome and Safari.

a path.

# Search syntax
|
||||
|
||||
SearXNG allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search language
|
||||
via the search query.
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
Prefix `!` to set category and engine names.
|
||||
## `!` select engine and category
|
||||
|
||||
Prefix: `:` to set the language.
|
||||
To set category and/or engine names use a `!` prefix. To give a few examples:
|
||||
|
||||
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`.
|
||||
- search in wikipedia for **paris**
|
||||
|
||||
See the {{link('preferences', 'preferences')}} for the list of engines,
|
||||
categories and languages.
|
||||
- {{search('!wp paris')}}
|
||||
- {{search('!wikipedia paris')}}
|
||||
|
||||
## Examples
|
||||
- search in category **map** for **paris**
|
||||
|
||||
Search in wikipedia for `paris`:
|
||||
- {{search('!map paris')}}
|
||||
|
||||
* {{search('!wp paris')}}
|
||||
* {{search('!wikipedia paris')}}
|
||||
- image search
|
||||
|
||||
Search in category `map` for `paris`:
|
||||
- {{search('!images Wau Holland')}}
|
||||
|
||||
* {{search('!map paris')}}
|
||||
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**.
|
||||
|
||||
Image search:
|
||||
## `:` select language

||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- {{search(':fr !wp Wau Holland')}}
|
||||
|
||||
## `!!` external bangs
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
