<section id="search-syntax">
<span id="search-syntax"></span><h1>Search syntax<a class="headerlink" href="#search-syntax" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>SearXNG comes with a search syntax by with you can modify the categories,
engines, languages and more. See the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">preferences</span></code> for
the list of engines, categories and languages.</p>
<section id="select-engine-and-category">
<h2><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!</span></code> select engine and category<a class="headerlink" href="#select-engine-and-category" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>To set category and/or engine names use a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!</span></code> prefix. To give a few examples:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>search in Wikipedia for <strong>paris</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!wp</span> <span class="pre">paris</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!wikipedia</span> <span class="pre">paris</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>search in category <strong>map</strong> for <strong>paris</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!map</span> <span class="pre">paris</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>image search</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!images</span> <span class="pre">Wau</span> <span class="pre">Holland</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Abbreviations of the engines and languages are also accepted. Engine/category
modifiers are chain able and inclusive. E.g. with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!map</span> <span class="pre">!ddg</span> <span class="pre">!wp</span> <span class="pre">paris</span></code> search in map category and DuckDuckGo and Wikipedia for <strong>paris</strong>.</p>
</section>
<section id="select-language">
<h2><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:</span></code> select language<a class="headerlink" href="#select-language" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>To select language filter use a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:</span></code> prefix. To give an example:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>search Wikipedia by a custom language</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:fr</span> <span class="pre">!wp</span> <span class="pre">Wau</span> <span class="pre">Holland</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</section>
<section id="bang-external-bangs">
<h2><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!!&lt;bang&gt;</span></code> external bangs<a class="headerlink" href="#bang-external-bangs" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>SearXNG supports the external bangs from <a class="reference external" href="https://duckduckgo.com/bang">DuckDuckGo</a>. To directly jump to a
external search page use the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!!</span></code> prefix. To give an example:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>search Wikipedia by a custom language</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!!wfr</span> <span class="pre">Wau</span> <span class="pre">Holland</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note, your search will be performed directly in the external search
engine, SearXNG cannot protect your privacy on this.</p>
</section>
<section id="automatic-redirect">
<h2><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!!</span></code> automatic redirect<a class="headerlink" href="#automatic-redirect" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>When mentioning <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!!</span></code> within the search query (separated by spaces), you will
automatically be redirected to the first result. This behavior is comparable to
the “Feeling Lucky” feature from DuckDuckGo. To give an example:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>search for a query and get redirected to the first result</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!!</span> <span class="pre">Wau</span> <span class="pre">Holland</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Please keep in mind that the result you are being redirected to can’t become
verified for being trustworthy, SearXNG cannot protect your personal privacy
when using this feature. Use it at your own risk.</p>
</section>
<section id="special-queries">
<h2>Special Queries<a class="headerlink" href="#special-queries" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>In the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">preferences</span></code> page you find keywords for
<em>special queries</em>. To give a few examples:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>generate a random UUID</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">random</span> <span class="pre">uuid</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>find the average</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">avg</span> <span class="pre">123</span> <span class="pre">548</span> <span class="pre">2.04</span> <span class="pre">24.2</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>show <em>user agent</em> of your browser (needs to be activated)</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">user-agent</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><p>convert strings to different hash digests (needs to be activated)</p>
<ul>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">md5</span> <span class="pre">lorem</span> <span class="pre">ipsum</span></code></p></li>
<li><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sha512</span> <span class="pre">lorem</span> <span class="pre">ipsum</span></code></p></li>
