# 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.
