Solved Guide | Search Suggestion URL

[Pesala]

@stardepp This works for me. I have used it for ages. Nothing has changed recently.

@Pesala I need the Search Suggestion URL: What you have shown me is the normal search URL.

[oudstand]

@stardepp I use this one and it works:
https://www.google.de/complete/search?hl=de&ds=yt&output=chrome&q=%s

@oudstand
Hi, this is the standard Google search suggestion URL but it seems the results are the same in Youtube search bar.
Interesting, I would have thought that it is different.

Cheers, mib

[oudstand]

@mib3berlin Is the ds=yt part also from the default google search suggestion URL?

[mib3berlin]

@oudstand
Ah no, this is different, will have to check again.

Thanks, mib
EDIT: This one work!

[stardepp]

@oudstand Thank you very much and, yes this works well.

[stardepp]

https://www.startpage.com/suggestions?q=%s&segment=startpage.vivaldi&format=json

This Startpage search suggestion URL no longer works.

Is there any help for this?

[Pathduck]

@stardepp Use this one instead:
https://www.startpage.com/suggestions?q=%s&segment=startpage.vivaldi&format=opensearch

They keep changing stuff around

[stardepp]

@Pathduck Thank you very much for your help. Yes, that works well.

Huh, it appears they're switching to OpenSearch! If they're going to change it up, at least they're moving to something used by other organizations, too.

Thank you for making this list. Much appreciated.

Does anyone know the suggestion URL for Google News?

@ukanuk @Ayespy Please can you add these for Presearch?

URL: https://presearch.com/search?q=%s
Suggest URL: https://presearch.com/api/suggest?q=%s

How to set Presearch as the Default Search Engine

I guessed the second one by copying Brave's equivalent and it worked.

So I've asked them to update their doc.

@wintercoast Added, thank you for sharing!

[derDay]

can someone help me with chefkoch.de ?

search URL is https://www.chefkoch.de/rs/s0/%s/Rezepte.html but I'm to noobish to get the suggestion URL, probably the search-input.js part does the trick

[Pathduck]

@derDay Unfortunately, this site does not support OpenSearch and does not return a properly formatted object on searching.

$ curl "https://api.chefkoch.de/v2/search/suggestions/recipes?t=lasagne&limit=6"
{"search_term":"lasagne","suggestions":["lasagne","lasagne bolognese","lasagne vegetarisch","lasagne hackfleisch","lasagne einfach und schnell","lasagne spinat"]}

It's quite possible there's some hidden format option but you'd have to ask the developers. If you're a user, ask the site support.

I use the basic DDG suggestions string for all such engines that do not have a working suggestions url.
https://duckduckgo.com/ac/?q=%s&type=list
Problem is I have no idea how to get that string in German for instance. Maybe it detects your IP and gives you correct suggestions based on that.

[derDay]

@Pathduck you are a great internet investigator! I also had the suggestion URL from wikipedia(?) but I tested some words and the suggestions from chefkoch are more ...food/cooking/recipe specific (what a surprise for a cooking website)
so thank you for your help; if I ask the support and get a positive answer, I post it here

[ukanuk]

It appears you can change the region with argument kl. For example this gets search suggestions in Korean region:
https://duckduckgo.com/ac/?q=%s&type=list&kl=kr-kr
