Search and site search

Your search engine#

Words that aren’t an address are searched with the engine in Settings › Search › Search with: Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, Ecosia, Startpage, Kagi, Brave Search, Qwant, or any other with Other…, given its address with %s where the words go. ⌥↩ searches words that look like an address, such as node.js.

Search a site#

Type a site’s name and press ⇥: the field takes the site’s color and says Search YouTube. Type and press ↩ to search it, or ↩ with nothing typed to go to the site. Your earlier searches there are listed under the field. ⌫ in the empty field leaves the site.

Some come with a short alias:

Claude, Gmail, Google Drive, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, MDN, npm, Amazon, Spotify, Apple Music, Twitch, Netflix, IMDb, Pinterest, Dribbble and others work by name.

Sites it learns#

A site that offers its own search is learned the first time you visit it, so you can search it the same way next time. Settings › Search › Sites lists them all: give one an alias, turn it off, or Add Site… with a keyword and a search address of your own.
