|  | # Search syntax
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | SearXNG allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search language | ||
|  | via the search query. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Prefix `!` to set category and engine names. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Prefix: `:` to set the language. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Abbrevations of the engines and languages are also accepted.  Engine/category | ||
|  | modifiers are chainable and inclusive.  E.g. with {{search('!map !ddg !wp paris')}} | ||
|  | search in map category **and** duckduckgo **and** wikipedia for | ||
|  | `paris`. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | See the {{link('preferences', 'preferences')}} for the list of engines, | ||
|  | categories and languages. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
