Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>,
inspired by the <a href="https://beniz.github.io/seeks/">seeks project</a>.
It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other
platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request
on every browser (except chrome*). Therefore they show up in neither our
logs, nor your url history. In case of Chrome* users there is an exception,
searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests.
Searx can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as
the default search engine.
