<p>Searx allows you to modify the default categories, engines and search language
via the search query.</p>
<dl class="simple">
<dt>Prefix <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">!</span></code></dt><dd><p>to set Category/engine</p>
</dd>
<dt>Prefix: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:</span></code></dt><dd><p>to set language</p>
</dd>
<dt>Prefix: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">?</span></code></dt><dd><p>to add engines and categories to the currently selected categories</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<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="/?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="/preferences">/preferences page</a> for the list of engines,
categories and languages.</p>

<h2>Multilingual Search<a class="headerlink" href="#multilingual-search" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Searx does not support true multilingual search.
You have to use the language prefix in your search query when searching in a different language.</p>
<p>But there is a workaround:
By adding a new search engine with a different language, Searx will search in your default and other language.</p>

<p>When searching, the default google engine will return German results and “google english” will return English results.</p>
