Search Engines
Using the search engines, terms can be quickly searched simply by opening the search bar at the top or using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + K.
You can add any search engine that has a search URL that accepts a search term as a parameter. Additionally, some integrations have a built-in search functionality, for more information see below.
