 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ====================
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | SearXNG is a fork of `searx`_, with notable changes:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. _searx: https://github.com/searx/searx
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | User experience
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ---------------
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - Reworked (and still simple) theme:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * Usable on desktop, tablet and mobile.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * Light and dark versions (available in the preferences).
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * Right-to-left language support.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * `Screenshots <https://dev.searxng.org/screenshots.html>`_
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - The translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - The preferences page has been updated:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * Browse which engines are reliable or not.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * Engines are grouped inside each tab.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * Each engine has a description.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - Thanks to the anonymous metrics, it is easier to report malfunctioning engines,
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   so they get fixed quicker
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   - `Turn off metrics on the server
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |     <https://docs.searxng.org/admin/engines/settings.html#general>`_ if you don't want them recorded.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - Administrators can `block and/or replace the URLs in the search results
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   <https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/5c1c0817c3996c5670a545d05831d234d21e6217/searx/settings.yml#L191-L199>`_
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Setup
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -----
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - No need for `Morty`_ to proxy images, even on a public instance.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - No need for `Filtron`_ to block bots, as there is now a built-in `limiter`_.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - A well maintained `Docker image`_, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures.
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   (Alternatively there are up to date installation scripts.)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |
