How it's used

While 搜尋器 is the standard term for a search engine, many local speakers simply use the English loanword Google or refer to the act of searching as 揾嘢. It is common to hear people say 喺網上面揾 instead of using the formal noun when speaking casually. Using 搜尋器 often implies a slightly more technical or specific context, such as comparing different tools or discussing browser settings.

Common mistake

Learners sometimes confuse 搜尋器 with 瀏覽器, which means web browser. Remember that a 瀏覽器 is the software you use to view websites, while a 搜尋器 is the specific tool or site used to query information.
