What Slick can do

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Slick is built from scratch with a focus on speed, user control, and a genuinely clean experience. Here's what makes it different.

Web, News, Video and More

Switch between Web, Images, Videos, News, Forums, and arXiv academic papers from one search bar. Slick finds the right result in the right format.

Knowledge Cards

Search for a person, place, or topic and Slick pulls a structured card straight from Wikipedia, with key facts, an image, and links right alongside your results.

Bang Commands

Type !yt cats to search YouTube, !gh react for GitHub, or !w photosynthesis for Wikipedia. Jump to any site without leaving the search bar.

Personalized Ranking

Block, downvote, upvote, or pin any domain. Slick reorders results to match your preferences and stores everything locally on your device, not a server.

Custom Filters

Pre-built filters for Academic, Entertainment, Shopping, and Social. Or build your own with any list of domains you care about.

Inline News and Videos

Relevant news carousels and video grids appear right alongside your web results. You get the full picture without switching tabs.

Knowledge Cards

Know more, faster.

Search for a person, place, or concept and Slick surfaces a structured card directly on the results page. No extra click, no Wikipedia tab.

  • Key facts and infobox data like birth date, nationality, and genre
  • Full description, expandable on demand
  • Featured image
  • Direct links to Wikipedia and official websites

Forum Results

Real opinions, not just polished pages.

Slick surfaces Reddit threads and forum discussions alongside web results. When you want to know what people actually think rather than what brands want you to read, forum results cut straight to it.

  • Dedicated Forums tab for a full thread view
  • Score, comment count, author, and subreddit at a glance
  • Scrollable carousel inline on the main Web tab
  • Sorted by relevance, not just recency

arXiv Papers

Search the research, not just about it.

The arXiv tab pulls peer-reviewed academic papers directly into your search. Perfect for students, researchers, or anyone who wants primary sources rather than summaries.

  • Full author list, arXiv ID, and publish date
  • Subject tags so you know the field at a glance
  • Direct link to the PDF, one click away
  • Abstract shown inline, no extra page needed
