Upgrade your Safari browsing with xSearch, the all-in-one search tool for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS with just one purchase.
xSearch lets you instantly switch between multiple search engines and even search directly from Spotlight, making your browsing faster and more efficient.
For example, type "g apple" to search for "apple" using Google, or "ddg apple" to search with DuckDuckGo.
Privacy is a top priority: xSearch requests only the permissions it needs. On iOS 17, iPadOS 17, macOS 14 and later, it requires permission to view browsing history to function properly within Safari, but it only accesses the current session's URL to identify the search engine. All processing is done locally, and your personal information never leaves your device, ensuring your privacy is fully protected.
Some of xSearch's key features include:
■ Quickly switch between search engines using shortcuts.
■ Use URL Scheme to search within other apps, such as X (Twitter).
■ Customize Safari's default search engine with xSearch's variety of engines.
■ Multisearch capability enables simultaneous searching across multiple engines with a single shortcut.
■ Random mode in multisearch allows the system to automatically select an engine for you during searches.
■ Last Search Token remembers your previous query, letting you reuse it instantly without retyping.
■ Integration with Shortcuts provides convenient access to xSearch from anywhere.
■ Use the share extension to search any text in any app with xSearch.
■ Synchronize your search engines across all your devices with iCloud.
■ Backup and share your search engines using the export and import JSON file feature.
XSearch for Safari App Comments & Reviews
XSearch for Safari Positive Reviews
Needs better setup instructionsSo I’ve had this extension forever but I’ve never been able to get it to work. Even making sure ONLY this extension was enabled and making sure the prefix was enabled and shortcut phrase was correct. Turns out, there’s an extra final step needed to get the extension to work. In Safari, when you tap the address bar, under the search section you should see an option that says “xSearch” with the icon next to it. You have to tap that and give xSearch the necessary permissions, or it will never work no matter what. Took me this long (months) to finally figure it out. Definitely need better setup instructions for this extension, as well as the ability toto re-access initial setup instructions in case a step gets overlooked..Version: 4.0.0
Fastest 2 bucks I ever spentIt’s a simple problem, and here’s an elegant solution. Does exactly what I want. It even has the ability to completely replace the default search engine with one of the engines in the app. It is a little quirky in some ways, for example if you use a non-default engine, click a link, then go back, the extension will override the back request and switch the search to the app’s default. However, I won’t dock anything cause the feature is hidden away under an “advanced” tab, likely due to quirks like this. The main app functionality works perfectly. Edit: Just poked around some more and there are different override modes for the feature I mentioned… that fix the problem I also mentioned. This is why I pay money for apps lol.Version: 2.1.8
While cool it still uses the default search engine selected in safari settingsFor example I wanted to use brave search , when you check privacy tracker default search engine will for a moment use the safari setting which is duck duck go then it goes to brave search.Version: 1.6.6
Customized searches are such a great toolGreat implementation of a sorely need function in Safari. The built-in engines are useful but even better is the ability to add custom searches. I’ve started setting up shortcuts for all the sites I administer, along with some work databases I use every day. Im looking forward to seeing how far I can extend it: domain-based Google searches? Searches for Evernote? Google Docs? It’s very useful to have this easily accessible from Spotlight too!.Version: 1.2.0
Works Really WellCustom search engines with keywords, just like desktop browsers. It even has a big gallery so you never need to add one manually. By default, Safari will load its default search engine for a moment before this kicks in, but there’s a beta feature in app settings to make it work correctly. The translations on the settings screen are a bit rough though..Version: 2.4.6
Thank you for making this app!This app is a daily convenience. The functionality is so good and the implementation is so natural that I feel as if Apple should have the feature as a standard setting in Safari for searching. This app and NOIR for dark mode websites in Safari really improve the user experience. Thanks to both developers. Phenomenal software..Version: 2.1.6
Boken for GoogleLove this extension, but its broken for google, even with no google shortcut set when I try to search in the google search bar it just redirects to the initial safari search bar query. not a big deal for me, just thought it'd be useful to report, thanks for the useful app though.Version: 4.0.0
Great, but beware setupBest two bucks ever. When setting up, multiple shortcuts for a single search engine seem to render it ineffective. For example, Duck Duck Go is set up with shortcuts d and ddg. Won’t work unless you get rid of one or the other..Version: 2.6.6
Dude, GET THIS!If you’ve made a habit of using google for tech stuff and DuckDuckGo for everything else uncensored, GET THIS! No more playing with default search settings, just type the search engine trigger in the address box before your search and that’s it..Version: 1.6.4
Worth it despite issuesBeing able to switch between search engines by typing a letter or so before search terms is amazing forbthe price. Current issue: unable to successfully save my own queries. The "done" button (to save) doesn't work. (Perhaps this would be less important if I could duplicate and then modify certain searches?).Version: 2.2.2
Great app, would love a Mac versionEdit: thank you for bringing this to Mac as well! I highly recommend this extension! Works great and the dev is very responsive. I really like the app, it’s simple but powerful. I hope you consider bringing it to Mac some time in the future..Version: 1.5.0
Amazing extensionVery useful with a good amount of engines in the gallery. If the app doesn't have the search engine you want, just make it yourself. Very easy to use and to make your own search engine for your favorite websites. Great job!.Version: 1.0.2
Perfect! A must have!I’m fairly techie but ran into a few hurdles setting up the app. Emailed the developer and he promptly got back to me. A few back and forth emails and I was good to go. Definitely recommend!.Version: 2.1.8
Lost all custom shortcuts after 1.1.0 updateGreat for active development, but shortcuts reset to defaults after 1.1.0 update. frustrating.Version: 1.1.0
FantasticThis is a wonderful application that replicates Chrome’s custom search engine functionality in Safari. Does what it says on the tin, and does it well. A must-have..Version: 2.1.6

GREAT. If you have Alfred on the Mac side …I use Alfred on my Mac and I can port all of my often used web searches from there to my iPad. Thanks for this extension it’s great..Version: 1.0.3
Share extensionPlease add option to open a new safari tab instead of the web viewer when searching using the share extension. Otherwise great app..Version: 1.5.7

A Must-Have App for Exclusive Search Engine AccessXSEARCH is a delightful discovery in the app store! I've thoroughly enjoyed using it, as it has significantly enhanced my productivity. I was frustrated with receiving only Google's curated results for my work research. XSEARCH offers access to updated and obscure search engines, offering a diversity and exclusiveness in search options that are unparalleled, reminiscent of exploring secret libraries filled with extensive and varied information. The interface is sleek and user-friendly, allowing for effortless navigation. Its performance is reliable, free from crashes or bugs, and it receives regular updates to introduce new features and ensure the search engines remain current. The app is widely acclaimed for its effectiveness and superior quality..Version: 2.6.2
Finally, I can use a custom default search engine in Safari!This has been the #1 thing stopping me from using Safari as my main browser and xSearch has made it possible! I was initially looking for macOS, but I was excited to find that it was also available on iOS and iPad OS. After testing, I'm pleased to say it works just as well there. Give it a try if you need a custom default search engine or want support for multiple engines (accessible by keyword). You won't regret it!.Version: 1.8.5
Super useful!This is super useful for both changing the default search engine in Safari, and handling keyword searches! One bug I came across with the default search engine feature is that clicking links in google docs opens the search engine with the url as the search text. Could you please fix this? Thanks!.Version: 1.8.5
Essential featureI have not tested further, but it’s absolutely inane that such a useful and basic feature, which is in practically every other browser on the market, somehow did not make it into Safari. I will update the review if this extension end up disappointing..Version: 3.3.3
Great solution to safari’s locked down search enginesI use this to ensure my Google searches go to my country’s Google site, which Safari won’t allow by itself. Works great and is easy to use..Version: 2.1.4
No spotlight support?I’m using another default browser. I’m trying to get safari to use a different search engine. It only uses that engine when I search via safari app directly but not thru spotlight. Kinda frustrating..Version: 3.0.3
Fantastic gem!!!I wanted to use Perplexity as the default search engine on Safari to reduce random browsing. It works so much better than I expected! Because it supports prefix *and* suffix for the keyword, I can start typing my question and decide which engine I want to use after. Using “?” as the keyword makes it even more natural. Love this app!.Version: 3.1.2
Direct search speedIf you have searched for a website to seach on that website, you need this. Search any site directly with a shortcut. Example "rt movie" for rotton tomatoes, look at how the serarch is generated on the website and enter the url %s. Cross platform cloud sync works across iPhone, iPad and Mac, under Settings/Preferences..Version: 1.6.3
Very usefulThis app is simply a fantastic help in searching the web quickly. Just program your sites. It Syncs between the iPhone and Macs..Version: 4.0.0
