<h1>About <a href="/">searx</a></h1>
<p>Searx is a meta-search engine inspired by the <a href="http://seeks-project.info/">seeks-project</a>.
<br />It tries to provide basic privacy by mixing your queries with those from others while avoiding storing search data. For all browsers (except chrom*) queries are made using a POST request. Thus they don't show up in our logs, nor in your url history. For Chrom* users there is an exception, searx is used from the search bar, it issues GET requests.
<br />You can add it to your browsers search bar and even make it your default search engine.
</p>
<h2>What makes searx different</h2>
<ul>
<li>No ads - searx is Free Software (free-as-in-freedom), funded by your donations</li>
<li>Privacy - tries to minimalize the digital footprint of the searches</li>
<li>Optionally self hosted - see the <a href="#faq">FAQ</a></li>
<li>Easy to add new engines/categories</li>
</ul>
