SearXNG is a free and open-source federated metasearch engine forked from Searx.[1] SearXNG supports over 70 different search engines. Similar to Searx, it does not collect information about users.[2]
Instances[edit]
SearXNG is federated, and as such is hosted by several instances, public and private. Private instances are hosted on a local network, or run on the user's desktop computer itself, and are designed to be used by one person or a small number of people. Public instances are hosted on public web servers and are designed to be used by anyone like a typical search engine.[3] A list of public instances is available at searx
Features[edit]
Categorical searching[edit]
SearXNG can separate results into multiple categories, including the standard categories of "Web, "Images," "Videos," and "News," as well as the non-standard categories of "Social Media," "Music," "Files," "IT," and "Science."[5]
Customization[edit]
SearXNG features several customization options, which can be configured server-side or client-side, including filtering which engines to use, content filtering, and language preferences.[3]
Engines[edit]
As a metasearch engine, SearXNG functions by sending queries to upstream search engines and returning them to the user. Engines include Google, Bing, and Qwant.[4]
Privacy[edit]
SearXNG removes private data from requests sent to search services. Result pages do not include advertisements or referral links.[6]
Tor compatibility[edit]
Search queries can be routed through the Tor network.[3]
