🔭 Kennedy: Search Examples

Home

Kennedy is a search engine for content served over the Gemini Protocol.

Basic searching

Find results containing the words "cat" and "dog":

cat dog

Find results containing the word "cat" or the word "dog":

cat OR dog

Find results containing the word "cat" but not containing the word "dog":

cat NOT dog

Find results contain the exact phrase "cat dog":

"cat dog"

If your query doesn't return any results, Kennedy will auto-suggest a new query for you.

filetype: modifier

You can use the "filetype:[type]" modifier to limit your search to specific file types

Find PDFs about "amiga" computers:

amiga filetype:pdf

Currently this is looking at the file extension. Some URLs don't have a filename or a file extension, such as auto-generated index files, such as "gemini://example/foo/"

You can only use one "filetype:" modifier in a query.

intitle: modifier

You can use the "intitle:[query]" modifier to search for words that appear in a page's title.

Find pages with "news" in the title:

intitle:news

You can search for multiple words in a title by using quotes.

Find pages with both "gemini" and "list" in the title:

intitle:"gemini list"

You can combine the "intitle:" modifier with normal search terms as well.

Find pages with "crawler" in the title and "robots.txt" in the body:

intitle:crawler robots.txt

You can only use one "intitle:" modifier in a query. Only gemtext results are returned for queries using an "intitle:" modifier, page title is derived from a page's headings or preformatted "alt text."

site: modifier

You can use the "site:[hostname]" modifier to limit your text or image searches to a specific hostname.

Find pages about "crawlers" on the capsule "gemi.dev":
