About serĉi

What does serĉi mean?

It is the Esperanto term for "to search".This may not be the most creative name for such a software project but to the best of my knowledge, it is a unique one.

What are keywords?

An idea lent from the search Engine DuckDuckGo , which has been utilized by many others since. They call their keywords bangs, but it is the same concept and usability. In essence, keywords are shortcuts for searching on other websites.

For example, you can conduct a search on the website F-Droid directly from search.jayvii.de by adding the keyword !fdroid to your search query.

You can find all keywords associated with each search engine in the list above.

How can I use serĉi?

You can try serĉi directly on this site or host it yourself ! It barely needs any server resources, no database or lots of RAM. serĉi has minimal footprint (also on user data: there are none).

Either type your search directly into the search bar at the very top or add the search to your browser by rightclicking in the URL-bar of your web browser and choose add serĉi - Search with !keywords.

Some browsers (for example Firefox on Android / Fennec) allow to configure custom search engines via a so-called search URL. Simply list following URL as search-URL there and choose it as your fallback search option:

https://search.jayvii.de/?q=%s

You can also choose the fallback search engine, used by serĉi as fallback, when no keyword is given, through the URL instead of choosing it from the list above, in case you do not want serĉi to store any cookie on your device. For example, if you wanted to use F-Droid as your fallback search, you could use following search-URL:

https://search.jayvii.de/?fallback=fdroid&q=%s

Choosing a fallback search without cookies or Javascript

You can simply choose a fallback search by adding the fallback URL parameter. For example, if you wanted to use F-Droid as your fallback search, you can simply add /?fallback=fdroid to the serĉi URL:
https://search.jayvii.de/?fallback=fdroid
