<p>SearXNG is a <a class="reference external" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch-engine</a>, so it uses different search engines to provide
|
||
better results.</p>
|
||
<p>Because there is no general search API which could be used for every search
|
||
engine, an adapter has to be built between SearXNG and the external search
|
||
engines. Adapters are stored under the folder <a class="extlink-origin reference external" href="https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/master/searx/engines">git://searx/engines</a>.</p>

<p>It is required to tell SearXNG the type of results the engine provides. The
|
||
arguments can be set in the engine file or in the settings file (normally
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">settings.yml</span></code>). The arguments in the settings file override the ones in the
|
||
engine file.</p>
|
||
<p>It does not matter if an option is stored in the engine file or in the settings.
|
||
However, the standard way is the following:</p>

<p>A few of the options have default values in the namespace of the engine’s python
