<h2>Why use it?</h2>
<ul>
<li>
SearXNG may not offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't
generate a profile about you.
</li>
<li>
SearXNG doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything with a
third party, and it can't be used to compromise you.
</li>
<li>
SearXNG is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make
it better. See more on <a href="{{ searx_git_url
}}">SearXNG sources</a>.

</ul>
<p>
If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise
believe in digital freedom, make SearXNG your default search engine or run
it on your own server
</p>
<h2>Technical details - How does it work?</h2>
<p>
SearXNG is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>,
inspired by the <a href="https://beniz.github.io/seeks/">seeks project</a>.
It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other
platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request
on every browser (except Chromium-based browsers*). Therefore they show up
in neither our logs, nor your url history. In the case of Chromium-based
browser users there is an exception: searx uses the search bar to perform GET
requests.
SearXNG can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as
the default search engine.
</p>
<h2 id='add to browser'>How to set as the default search engine?</h2>
<p>
SearXNG supports <a href="https://github.com/dewitt/opensearch/blob/master/opensearch-1-1-draft-6.md">OpenSearch</a>.
For more information on changing your default search engine, see your browser's documentation:
