``q`` : required
The search query. This string is passed to external search services. Thus,
SearXNG supports syntax of each search service. For example, ``site:github.com
SearXNG`` is a valid query for Google. However, if simply the query above is
passed to any search engine which does not filter its results based on this
syntax, you might not get the results you wanted.
