44+Multilingual Search
45+===================
46+
47+Searx does not support true multilingual search.
48+You have to use the language prefix in your search query when searching in a different language.
49+
50+But there is a workaround:
51+By adding a new search engine with a different language, Searx will search in your default and other language.
52+
53+Example configuration in settings.yml for a German and English speaker:
54+ .. code-block:: yaml
55+
56+ search:
57+ language : "de"
58+ ...
59+
60+ engines:
61+ - name : google english
62+ engine : google
63+ language : english
64+ ...
65+
66+When searching, the default google engine will return German results and "google english" will return English results.
