Search syntax
=============
Searx allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search
language via the search query.
Category/engine prefix: ``!``
Language prefix: ``:``
Prefix to add engines and categories to the currently selected
categories: ``?``
Abbrevations of the engines and languages are also accepted.
Engine/category modifiers are chainable and inclusive (e.g. with
`!it !ddg !wp qwer <https://searx.me/?q=%21it%20%21ddg%20%21wp%20qwer>`_
search in IT category **and** duckduckgo **and** wikipedia for ``qwer``).
See the `/preferences page <https://searx.me/preferences>`_ for the
list of engines, categories and languages.
Examples
