<h1>About <a href="{{ url_for('index') }}">searx</a></h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>, aggregating the results of other <a href="{{ url_for('preferences') }}">search engines</a> while not storing information about its users.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2>Why use searx?</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>searx may not offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't generate a profile about you</li>
|
||||
<li>searx 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>searx is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make it better. See more on <a href="https://github.com/asciimoo/searx">github</a></li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise believe
|
||||
in digital freedom, make searx your default search engine or run it on your own server</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Technical details - How does it work?</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Searx 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>.<br />
|
||||
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 chrome*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In case of Chrome* users there is an exception, searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests.<br />
|
||||
Searx can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.
