Search

Fruit Bat Search, other search engines, your own engines and the search bar.

Fruit Bat Search (search.fruitbat.app) is the default search engine. Until its own results are ready, it sends your searches to DuckDuckGo. Vampire Bat windows always search with DuckDuckGo.

Choosing a search engine#

Settings › Search lets you pick Fruit Bat Search, DuckDuckGo, Startpage or Google.

Adding your own#

Settings › Search › Add a search engine: give it a name and an address with %s where your search words go, for example https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=%s. You can add up to 10 and make any of them the default.

A separate search bar#

Pick the Address bar + search bar layout in Settings › General (or on the welcome screen). The search bar has its own engine menu, and Ctrl+K jumps to it. Enter searches in this tab; Alt+Enter opens a new tab.
