Safe search
Theme
Adds time range, region, and safe search controls below the category tabs.
When enabled, scrolling to the bottom of search results loads the next page automatically.
Group consecutive results from the same domain into collapsible clusters.
Show Archive.org, Archive.is, and Google Cache links next to each result URL.
Boost results from independent engines (Mojeek, Marginalia, Wiby, Hacker News, Wikipedia) and reduce weight of mainstream engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, Baidu).

History & Privacy

Stored history shows up as bolded suggestions when you start typing in the search bar.

Keeps a local copy of your searches in this browser's localStorage. Uncheck to clear all local records.
Without server history, your searches are not stored on the server.
Your queries contribute to the anonymous trending page. No cookie hashes or IPs are exposed.
Your searches appear with exact timestamps in the real-time feed on the trending page.
Bookmark flag button
Controls whether the bookmark flag button appears on results. Long-press on URL segments always works regardless of this setting.
Tracker detection
Scan search result pages for tracking scripts and show badges next to results. "On + Share" also reports discovered trackers back to the server cache for other users.
Visually highlight results that are new since your last search for the same query.
Show links to Hacker News discussion threads when a result URL has been submitted to HN.
Privacy score display
Controls how privacy indicators appear next to search results. "Combined" merges ToS;DR grade and tracker count into a single badge.
Performs a server-side HEAD request on result URLs to detect dead links. Results are cached.

Localization

Region (blank = all)
Known languages
Comma-separated ISO 639-1 codes (e.g. en,es,fr). Results in other languages will be auto-translated into your first known language.
Temperature unit

Advanced

Search method
POST keeps queries out of URLs and browser history
Engine badges
Max wait after first positive result (ms)
Idle timeout after last result (ms)
Cache freshness (minutes)
Hidden tabs
Comma-separated category slugs to hide from the tab bar. Available: science, it, files, maps, social, books, qa, packages, weather, lyrics.
Display the internal relevance score on each search result. Scores inside collapsed domain clusters are always shown.
When your search ends with a tab name (e.g., "paris maps", "cats videos", "react packages"), automatically switch to that tab with the keyword removed.
Stream search results as each engine responds via SSE, instead of waiting for all engines to finish. Web-type categories only.
Oracle & AI
AI mode
Lite: AI silently decides which oracles to show — invisible to you. Full: AI research agent with visible responses. Manual modes require you to search twice (or prefix with !!) to trigger the AI.
Automatically fire category-relevant oracles when searching in specific tabs (e.g. weather on Maps, radio on Music, calculator on Science, DNS/CIDR on IT).
Display an experimental live dot graph during speed test and benchmark oracles.
Display a breakdown of how each result was scored and ranked across engines.
When enabled, the AI research agent automatically runs in the background if you stay on the results page for 15+ seconds without clicking.
Engine configuration
Priority engine
Proxy a single engine. Others still cache in the background.

By default the server's engine weights and selection apply. As soon as you change any setting here, you override the server defaults entirely for that category.
