+## Search and commands
+
+Search is designed as the fastest route to Homarr. Start typing after `MOD` + `K` to find local apps, boards,
+integrations, pages, commands, and preferences without entering a separate mode first. Local Homarr results appear
+before configured search-engine actions and Assistant fallbacks. Commands include opening the board switcher without
+leaving the keyboard. Type `!` to enter Web mode when you want to browse configured engine shortcuts or discover
+DuckDuckGo bangs; bang discovery is excluded from ordinary Search results.
+
+Use the dedicated shortcuts above to start in apps, Assistant, or preferences. Inside search, choose a mode to narrow
+the same query when needed. Media request search is available only when a supported Seerr integration is configured.

+Using the search engines, terms can be quickly searched simply by opening the search bar at the top or using the keyboard shortcut `MOD + K`.
 The management page provides a searchable list with the shortcut, URL template, source, and available row actions for each engine.
 
+The default **Search** mode lists every configured search engine as a fallback action for the current query. To discover
+engines by shortcut, switch to **Web** with `!`. DuckDuckGo bang discovery is intentionally limited to Web mode so an
