SearXNG is a free and open-source federated metasearch engine forked from Searx.[1] SearXNG supports over 70 different search engines. Similar to Searx, it does not collect information about users.[2]
Instances
editSearXNG is federated, and as such is hosted by several instances, public and private. Private instances are hosted on a local network, or run on the user's desktop computer itself, and are designed to be used by one person or a small number of people. Public instances are hosted on public web servers and are designed to be used by anyone like a typical search engine.[3] A list of public instances is available at searx
Features
editCategorical searching
editSearXNG can separate results into multiple categories, including the standard categories of "Web, "Images," "Videos," and "News," as well as the non-standard categories of "Social Media," "Music," "Files," "IT," and "Science."[4]
Customization
editSearXNG features several customization options, which can be configured server-side or client-side, including filtering which engines to use, content filtering, and language preferences.[3]
Privacy
editSearXNG removes private data from requests sent to search services. Result pages do not include advertisements or referral links.[5]
Tor compatibility
editSearch queries can be routed through the Tor network.[3]
