<p>Searx allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search
language via the search query.</p>
<p>Category/engine prefix: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!</span></code></p>
<p>Language prefix: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:</span></code></p>
<p>Prefix to add engines and categories to the currently selected
categories: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">?</span></code></p>
<p>Abbrevations of the engines and languages are also accepted.
Engine/category modifiers are chainable and inclusive (e.g. with
<a class="reference external" href="https://searx.me/?q=%21it%20%21ddg%20%21wp%20qwer">!it !ddg !wp qwer</a>
search in IT category <strong>and</strong> duckduckgo <strong>and</strong> wikipedia for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">qwer</span></code>).</p>
<p>See the <a class="reference external" href="https://searx.me/preferences">/preferences page</a> for the
