<p>To proxy the incoming requests to the SearXNG instance Apache needs the

</aside>
<p>Depending on what your SearXNG installation is listening on, you need a http

You can install and activate your own <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng.conf</span></code> like shown in
