Safe search

Search suggestions

Theme

Show site icons next to results

Show filter bar on results page

Adds time range, region, and safe search controls below the category tabs.

Infinite scroll (auto-load next pages)

When enabled, scrolling to the bottom of search results loads the next page automatically.

Show domain clusters

Group consecutive results from the same domain into collapsible clusters.

Show archive links

Show Archive.org, Archive.is, and Google Cache links next to each result URL.

Prefer independent sources

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.

Store history in this browser

Keeps a local copy of your searches in this browser's localStorage. Uncheck to clear all local records.

Save history on server (speeds things up for everyone)

Without server history, your searches are not stored on the server.

Share searches anonymously (enables trending)

Your queries contribute to the anonymous trending page. No cookie hashes or IPs are exposed.

Include timestamps in shared searches (enables live feed)

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.

Highlight new results

Visually highlight results that are new since your last search for the same query.

Show HN discussions

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.

Check for dead links (server-side)

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.

Show result scores

Display the internal relevance score on each search result. Scores inside collapsed domain clusters are always shown.

Auto-switch tab by keyword

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.

Progressive results (experimental)

Stream search results as each engine responds via SSE, instead of waiting for all engines to finish. Web-type categories only.

Oracle & AI

Learn more about oracles and how to use them

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.

Smart tab oracles

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).

Show speed test graph

Display an experimental live dot graph during speed test and benchmark oracles.

Show ranking breakdown

Display a breakdown of how each result was scored and ranked across engines.

Ambient research (auto-trigger AI after dwelling on results)

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.

API keys

Some engines require an API key. Provide your own key below, or the server operator's key will be used if your group has the server_api_keys permission. Keys are stored as cookies in your browser. Leave blank to keep existing key; type clear to remove.
