Search

TraLa includes an external search bar that allows you to quickly search the web using your configured search engine.

Configuration

Search Engine URL

# configuration.yml
environment:
  search_engine_url: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=

Set via environment variable: SEARCH_ENGINE_URL=https://duckduckgo.com/?q=

Example Search Engines

Search Engine Icon

The search bar displays a greyscale icon of your configured search engine.

How It Works

The search engine icon is determined using the same logic as Traefik services:

1. Extract the second-level domain from the search URL

   • https://duckduckgo.com/?q= → duckduckgo
   • https://www.google.com/search?q= → google

2. Apply the same icon detection priority:

   • Service override icon
   • Custom icon directory
   • selfh.st icon database
   • Default icon

Custom Search Engine Icon

Override the search engine icon using service overrides:

# configuration.yml
services:
  overrides:
    - service: "duckduckgo"
      icon: "https://example.com/ddg-icon.png"
    
    - service: "google"
      icon: "google.svg"

Live Search & Sort

Beyond external search, TraLa also provides:

• Instant filtering — Filter services by name, URL, or priority
• Sorting — Sort services by name or priority
• Real-time updates — Results update as you type
