xSearch for Safari

xSearch for Safari routes shortcut-style queries to selected search engines and apps.

Our take

Choose it if you regularly switch engines or want to reuse a query.

Custom shortcuts and multi-search can reduce repeated typing.

Keep in mind: It needs Safari permissions and still sends searches to the engine you choose.

What you can do

  • Define engine shortcuts
  • Send one query to multiple engines
  • Sync or export engine configurations

Good for

  • A Safari user with several regular search destinations.

Consider alternatives for

  • Someone expecting a private search engine supplied by the app.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • It needs Safari permissions and still sends searches to the engine you choose.

Privacy & permissions

The developer describes local URL processing, optional iCloud settings sync and required Safari history permission on certain OS versions.
