Differences to searx
====================
SearXNG is a fork of `searx`_. Here are some of the changes:
.. _searx: https://github.com/searx/searx
User experience
---------------
- Huge update of the simple theme:
* usable on desktop, tablet and mobile
* light and dark versions (you can choose in the preferences)
* support right-to-left languages
* `see the screenshots <https://dev.searxng.org/screenshots.html>`_
- the translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
- the preferences page has been updated:
* you can see 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 a bug of an engine and
thus engines get fixed more quickly
- if you don't want any metrics to be recorded, you can `disable them on the server
<https://docs.searxng.org/admin/engines/settings.html#general>`_
- administrator can `block and/or replace the URLs in the search results
<https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/5c1c0817c3996c5670a545d05831d234d21e6217/searx/settings.yml#L191-L199>`_
Setup
-----
- you don't need `Morty`_ to proxy the images even on a public instance
- you don't need `Filtron`_ to block bots, we implemented the builtin `limiter`_
- you get a well maintained `Docker image`_, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures
- alternatively we have up to date installation scripts
.. _Docker image: https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker
