| # 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.

 | |
| _special queries_.  To give a few examples:
 | |
