What is it?

Searx-ng is a fork of Searx, which in return is a drop in replacement not just for your favourite search engine but for the lot of them. The individual search engines receive no information about who is sending the query and we make sure to not log any useer data. Only statistics about the quality of service of the search engines is retained in memory to provide some statistics.

Incorporate in your web site

You are welcome to provide this service from your own web site. Here is an example code snippet:

<form method="post" action="https://searx.xaoz.de/">
  <!-- search      --> <input type="text" name="q" />
  <!-- categories  --> <input type="hidden" name="categories" value="general" />
  <!-- language    --> <input type="hidden" name="lang" value="all" />
  <!-- locale      --> <input type="hidden" name="locale" value="de" />
  <!-- date filter --> <input type="hidden" name="time_range" value="month" />
</form>

For this web site´s hugo theme, a custom shortcode is available.
