# About [searxng][url_for:index]
|
||||
|
||||
SearXNG is a fork from the well-known [searx] [metasearch engine], aggregating
|
||||
the results of other [search engines][url_for:preferences] while not storing
|
||||
information about its users.
|
||||
|
||||
More about SearXNG ...
|
||||
|
||||
* [SearXNG sources][brand.git_url]
|
||||
* [weblate]
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Why use it?
|
||||
|
||||
* SearXNG may not offer you as personalised results as Google,
|
||||
but it doesn't generate a profile about you.
|
||||
|
||||
* SearXNG doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything
|
||||
with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you.
|
||||
|
||||
* SearXNG is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help
|
||||
to make it better. See more on [SearXNG sources][brand.git_url].
|
||||
|
||||
If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise
|
||||
believe in digital freedom, make SearXNG your default search engine or run
|
||||
it on your own server
|
||||
|
||||
## Technical details - How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
SearXNG is a [metasearch engine], inspired by the [seeks project]. 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 Chromium-based browsers*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs,
|
||||
nor your url history. In the case of Chromium-based browser users there is an
|
||||
exception: searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests. SearXNG can be
|
||||
added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default
|
||||
search engine.
|
||||
|
||||
<span id='add to browser'></span>
|
||||
## How to set as the default search engine?
|
||||
|
||||
SearXNG supports [OpenSearch]. For more information on changing your default
|
||||
search engine, see your browser's documentation:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox)
|
||||
* [Microsoft Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028574/microsoft-edge-change-the-default-search-engine)
|
||||
* Chromium-based browsers [only add websites that the user navigates to without a path.](https://www.chromium.org/tab-to-search)
|
||||
|
||||
## Where to find anonymous usage statistics of this instance ?
|
||||
|
||||
[Stats page][url_for:stats] contains some useful data about the engines used.
|
||||
|
||||
## How can I make it my own?
|
||||
|
||||
SearXNG appreciates your concern regarding logs, so take the code from
|
||||
the [SearXNG project][brand.git_url] and run it yourself!
|
||||
|
||||
Add your instance to this [list of public instances][brand.public_instances] to
|
||||
help other people reclaim their privacy and make the Internet freer! The more
|
||||
decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!
|
||||
|
||||
