Web search

Search the web without opening a browser. Results come back as rows with a rank, title, link, snippet and site, so you can filter, sort, open or save them.

➜ search the web for espresso machine makers in italy
➜ look up kubernetes ingress tutorials online
➜ search online for remote rust jobs

Then work with the results:

➜ only the ones from github.com
➜ open the first one
➜ save them as results.csv

What you getCopy Anchor Link

• Up to 50 results per search, without duplicates.
• A snippet is what the search engine says about a page, not something Halo checked on the page itself.
• Searching the same words again within a few minutes answers instantly from the last search.

PrivacyCopy Anchor Link

Only the words you search for go to the search engine. Nothing else about you or your computer is sent with them.

LimitsCopy Anchor Link

• Searches use DuckDuckGo.
• If the search engine slows Halo down or asks to verify that a person is searching, Halo says so instead of returning an incomplete list. It never answers a CAPTCHA.
• To search inside the browser window instead, say so: open a web search for lisbon trams.

Phrase requests your own way: these are examples, not commands to memorise. If Halo is unsure what you meant it asks.
