URL.search

The search property of the URL interface is a search string, also called a query string, that is a USVString containing a '?' followed by the parameters of the URL.

Modern browsers provide the URL.searchParams property to make it easy to parse out the parameters from the query string.

Syntax

const searchParams = object.search
url.search = newSearchParams

Value

A USVString.

Examples

const url = new URL('/docs/Web/API/URL/search?q=123');
console.log(url.search); // Logs "?q=123"
