  36. <p>The search supports both <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GET</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">POST</span></code>.</p>
  37. <p>Furthermore, two enpoints <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">/search</span></code> are available for querying.</p>
  38. <p><code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">GET</span> <span class="pre">/</span></code></p>

  45. <p>The search query. This string is passed to external search services.
  46. Thus, searx supports syntax of each search service. For example, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">site:github.com</span> <span class="pre">searx</span></code> is a valid
  47. query for Google. However, if simply the query above is passed to any search engine which does not filter its
  48. results based on this syntax, you might not get the results you wanted.</p>
