Search link converter

Tool

Turn a normal search-results link into a reusable Super Search template. The converter finds the words you searched for inside the link and replaces them with a %s token — so the same engine can be searched for anything later.

1. The exact phrase you searched for — use two distinctive words

A two-word phrase with a space is easier to find in the address and shows how the site handles spaces, so it converts more reliably than a single common word.

2. The full results-page link you copied from the address bar

Once you have a template you are happy with, open the Builder and paste it into a section, or use the builder's built-in "Add from a search link" panel which runs this same converter for you.

Site search builder

For a site with poor or no search of its own, search it through Google instead. Type just the website address and get a ready template.

Website address

Use UK Google

Why links look so different

Different sites put your query in different places. The converter handles the common shapes automatically:

?q=%s            Google, DuckDuckGo, Reddit, CORE
?Query=%s        JSTOR
?search=%s       Wikipedia, Wikimedia
?term=%s         PubMed
?search_query=%s YouTube
?query=%s        Project Gutenberg, OpenAIRE
/search/%s       some sites put the query in the path
climate+migration  or  climate%20migration   both encodings are recognised
