Set your own keyword for a search engine

Every search engine Sval comes with has a keyword that starts with @. You can give an engine a keyword of your own too. Your keyword doesn’t need an @.

You search YouTube often and want to type yt instead of @yt.

Steps

1. Open Settings › Search and Launcher.
2. Under Additional search engines, find the engine. Its keywords show under its name.
3. On the engine’s row, select Edit search engine, the pencil button.
4. In Keyword (optional), type your keyword, like yt.
5. Select Save Engine.

Your keyword works at once in the Launcher, the address bar, and the home page’s search field. The engine’s @ keywords keep working too.

Details

• A keyword works only at the start of what you type. A keyword without an @, like yt, picks its engine whenever a search starts with that keyword and a space. Choose one you don’t start ordinary searches with.
• To remove your keyword, clear the Keyword (optional) field and select Save Engine.

If something goes wrong

• That keyword is already being used. Try a different one. Another engine has that keyword. Choose another keyword.
