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

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.

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!

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

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

Found it at https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/settings/params/

Does anyone know how to send an image to Kagi Reverse Image search the same way it can be sent directly (so no URL search) to Google Image Search / Google Lens?
I assume with Google Image it has to do with the encoded_image post parameter, but using that on Kagi doesn't work.

So far I've been using https://kagi.com/images?q={google:imageURL}&reverse=reference, but some images disable hotlinking or like Reddit sometimes doesn't pass along the proper image URL.
