Initial sponsored by `Search and Discovery Fund
<https://nlnet.nl/discovery>`_ of `NLnet Foundation <https://nlnet.nl/>`_.
The following `NoSQL databases`_ are supported:
- :ref:`engine redis_server`
- :ref:`engine mongodb`
All of the engines above are just commented out in the :origin:`settings.yml
<searx/settings.yml>`, as you have to set various options and install
dependencies before using them.
By default, the engines use the ``key-value`` template for displaying results /
see :origin:`simple <searx/templates/simple/result_templates/key-value.html>`
theme. If you are not satisfied with the original result layout, you can use
your own template, set ``result_template`` attribute to ``{template_name}`` and
place the templates at::
searx/templates/{theme_name}/result_templates/{template_name}
Furthermore, if you do not wish to expose these engines on a public instance, you
can still add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described in
section :ref:`private engines`.
Extra Dependencies
==================
For using :ref:`engine redis_server` or :ref:`engine mongodb` you need to
install additional packages in Python's Virtual Environment of your SearXNG
instance. To switch into the environment (:ref:`searxng-src`) you can use
:ref:`searxng.sh`::
$ sudo utils/searxng.sh instance cmd bash
(searxng-pyenv)$ pip install ...
Configure the engines
=====================
`NoSQL databases`_ are used for storing arbitrary data without first defining
their structure.
