Differences to searx

SearXNG is a fork of searx. Here are some of the changes:

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
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

Translations

We need translators, suggestions are welcome at https://weblate.bubu1.eu/projects/searxng/searxng/
