Differences to searx

SearXNG is a fork of searx, with notable changes:

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
  • 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
  • Administrators can block and/or replace the URLs in the search results

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.)

Contributing

  • Readable debug log.
  • Contributing is easier, thanks to the Development Quickstart guide.
  • A lot of code cleanup and bugfixes.
  • Up to date list dependencies.
