How to Search
Type your search query into the search box, select a search engine from the dropdown menu, then click the Search button or press Enter. You will be taken directly to the results on the selected search engine.
Choosing a Search Engine
The Lookup provides access to 120+ search engines organized by category — General, AI, Images, News, Shopping, Jobs, Health, and more. Use the dropdown to pick the engine that best fits your search.
Default Engine
You can set a preferred search engine as your default by selecting it from the dropdown and clicking the Set as Default option. The Lookup will automatically select that engine each time you visit, so you can go straight to searching without switching engines.
Favorite Terms
Save frequently used search terms as favorites so you can reuse them with one click. After typing a term in the search box, a Save button will appear in the Favorites panel below — click it to save. Your favorites are stored in your browser and persist between sessions. To remove a favorite, hover over it and click the × button.
Recent Searches
Your last 20 searches are automatically saved locally in your browser and shown in the Recent panel below the search form. Click any item to instantly reload it into the search box. You can star a recent term to save it as a favorite, remove individual items with the × button, or clear all history at once using the Clear link. No search data is ever sent to our servers.
Privacy Engines (℘)
Engines marked with ℘ are privacy-focused search engines that do not track your searches or build advertising profiles.
