<p>SearXNG is a <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch-engine</a>, so it uses different search engines to provide
better results.</p>
<p>Because there is no general search API which could be used for every search
engine, an adapter has to be built between SearXNG and the external search
engines. Adapters are stored under the folder <a class="extlink-origin reference external" href="https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/master/searx/engines">git://searx/engines</a>.</p>

<p>It is required to tell SearXNG the type of results the engine provides. The
arguments can be set in the engine file or in the settings file (normally
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">settings.yml</span></code>). The arguments in the settings file override the ones in the
engine file.</p>
<p>It does not matter if an option is stored in the engine file or in the settings.
However, the standard way is the following:</p>

<p>A few of the options have default values in the namespace of the engines python
module, but are often overwritten by the settings. If <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code> is assigned to an
option in the engine file, it has to be redefined in the settings, otherwise
SearXNG will not start with that engine (global names with a leading underline can
be <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code>).</p>
<p>Here is an very simple example of the global names in the namespace of engines
module:</p>
