Differences to searx
====================

SearXNG is a fork of `searx`_, with notable changes:

.. _searx: https://github.com/searx/searx


User experience
---------------

- Reworked (and still simple) theme:

  * Usable on desktop, tablet and mobile.
  * Light and dark versions (available in the preferences).
  * Right-to-left language support.
  * `Screenshots <https://dev.searxng.org/screenshots.html>`_

- The translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
- The preferences page has been updated:

  * Browse which engines are reliable or not.
  * Engines are grouped inside each tab.
  * Each engine has a description.

- Thanks to the anonymous metrics, it is easier to report malfunctioning engines,
  so they get fixed quicker

  - `Turn off metrics on the server
    <https://docs.searxng.org/admin/engines/settings.html#general>`_ if you don't want them recorded.

- Administrators can `block and/or replace the URLs in the search results
  <https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/5c1c0817c3996c5670a545d05831d234d21e6217/searx/settings.yml#L191-L199>`_


Setup
-----

- No need for `Morty`_ to proxy images, even on a public instance.
- No need for `Filtron`_ to block bots, as there is now a built-in `limiter`_.
- A well maintained `Docker image`_, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures.
  (Alternatively there are up to date installation scripts.)

.. _Docker image: https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker


Contributing
------------

- Readable debug log.
- Contributing is easier, thanks to the `Development Quickstart`_ guide.
- A lot of code cleanup and bugfixes.
- Up to date list dependencies.
