Welcome to the Artado Search FAQ! Here you will find answers to some of the most common questions about Artado, its features, and how to use them effectively.
Artado Search is a powerful search engine designed to provide fast, relevant results with a focus on user privacy. It includes features like custom themes, bangs for quick searches, and the ability to create and use extensions. We give you the bare bones of a search engine and tools to customize Artado as you like.
Artado is committed to protecting your privacy by not tracking your search history or storing personal information.
To get started, simply visit the Artado homepage, enter your search query in the search bar, and press Enter. You can also customize your experience by exploring the settings and available themes.
Bangs are shortcuts that allow you to search specific websites directly from Artado. By typing a bang keyword followed by your search query, you can instantly perform a search on your favorite sites.
To use a bang, type the bang keyword (e.g., !g for Google) followed by your search term in the Artado search bar. For example, typing !g latest tech news will take you directly to Google’s search results for "latest tech news."
Artado supports a wide range of websites through bangs, including Google, YouTube, Wikipedia, Amazon, and many more. A full list of supported bangs can be found in the Artado Bangs Guide.
Artado Extensions are custom scripts written in JavaScript that enhance the functionality of Artado Search. Users can create and use these extensions to add new features, automate tasks, or customize their search experience.
Creating an Artado Extension involves writing JavaScript code that interacts with the Artado platform. You can use the browser's console to test your code and refine your extension. For a detailed guide, visit the Extensions Documentation.
Yes, you can share your extensions with the community by submitting them to the Artado Extensions repository. This allows other users to benefit from your work and contribute their improvements.
Yes, Artado supports custom themes that allow you to personalize the look and feel of the search engine. You can choose from pre-existing themes or create your own using CSS or the Theme Creator tool.
To change your theme, go to Workshop. From there, you can browse and apply different themes.
If you're experiencing issues with voice search, ensure that your browser permissions are correctly set to allow microphone access. Voice search is supported on most modern browsers, but performance may vary.
If you are using Firefox you might need to activate voice recognition from about:config. Type about:config to addres bar in Firefox, search for the media.webspeech.recognition.enable and
media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable preferences and make sure they are set as true. For more information you can check this document.
If you continue to have problems please open an issue on Artado Search repository or open a discussion on Artado Forum.
If a bang isn’t working as expected, double-check that you’re using the correct keyword and that the website you’re targeting is supported. If the problem persists, it might be due to temporary issues with the target website or a typo in your search.
