							|  | Differences to searx
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ====================
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | SearXNG is a fork of `searx`_.  Here are some of the changes:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | .. _searx: https://github.com/searx/searx
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | User experience
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ---------------
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - Huge update of the simple theme:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * usable on desktop, tablet and mobile
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * light and dark versions (you can choose in the preferences)
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * support right-to-left languages
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * `see the screenshots <https://dev.searxng.org/screenshots.html>`_
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - the translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - the preferences page has been updated:
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * you can see which engines are reliable or not
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * engines are grouped inside each tab
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   * each engine has a description
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - it is easier to report a bug of an engine
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - but you can also disable the recording of the metrics on the server
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Setup
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | -----
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - the Docker image is now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - you don't need `Morty`_ to proxy the images even on a public instance
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - on the way to embed `Filtron`_ into SearXNG
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - up to date installation scripts
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | Contributing is easier
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | ----------------------
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | 
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - readable debug log
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - contributions to the themes are made easier, check out our `Development
 | 
						
						
						
							|  |   Quickstart`_ guide
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - a lot of code cleanup and bug fixes
 | 
						
						
						
							|  | - the dependencies are up to date
 |
