 | 
						
						
						
							|  |    <https://nlnet.nl/discovery>`_ of `NLnet Foundation <https://nlnet.nl/>`_.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | The following `NoSQL databases`_ are supported:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - :ref:`engine redis_server`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - :ref:`engine mongodb`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | All of the engines above are just commented out in the :origin:`settings.yml
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | <searx/settings.yml>`, as you have to set various options and install
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | dependencies before using them.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | By default, the engines use the ``key-value`` template for displaying results /
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | see :origin:`simple <searx/templates/simple/result_templates/key-value.html>`
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | theme.  If you are not satisfied with the original result layout, you can use
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | your own template, set ``result_template`` attribute to ``{template_name}`` and
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | place the templates at::
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   searx/templates/{theme_name}/result_templates/{template_name}
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Furthermore, if you do not wish to expose these engines on a public instance, you
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | can still add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described in
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | section :ref:`private engines`.

 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ==================
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | For using :ref:`engine redis_server` or :ref:`engine mongodb` you need to
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | install additional packages in Python's Virtual Environment of your SearXNG
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | instance.  To switch into the environment (:ref:`searxng-src`) you can use
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | :ref:`searxng.sh`::
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   $ sudo utils/searxng.sh instance cmd bash
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   (searxng-pyenv)$ pip install ...
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Configure the engines
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | =====================
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | `NoSQL databases`_ are used for storing arbitrary data without first defining
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | their structure.
