SQL Engines

   - `SQLite <https://www.sqlite.org/index.html>`_
 | 
						|
   - `PostgreSQL <https://www.postgresql.org>`_
 | 
						|
   - `MySQL <https://www.mysql.com>`_
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
With the *SQL engines* you can bind SQL databases into SearXNG.  The following
 | 
						|
Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) are supported:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- :ref:`engine sqlite`
 | 
						|
- :ref:`engine postgresql`
 | 
						|
- :ref:`engine mysql_server`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
All of the engines above are just commented out in the :origin:`settings.yml
 | 
						|
<searx/settings.yml>`, as you have to set the required attributes for the
 | 
						|
engines, e.g. ``database:`` ...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - name: ...
 | 
						|
     engine: {sqlite|postgresql|mysql_server}
 | 
						|
     database: ...
 | 
						|
     result_template: {template_name}
 | 
						|
     query_str: ...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, the engines use the ``key-value`` template for displaying results /
 | 
						|
see :origin:`simple <searx/templates/simple/result_templates/key-value.html>`
 | 
						|
theme.  If you are not satisfied with the original result layout, you can use
 | 
						|
your own template, set ``result_template`` attribute to ``{template_name}`` and
 | 
						|
place the templates at::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  searx/templates/{theme_name}/result_templates/{template_name}
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you do not wish to expose these engines on a public instance, you can still
 | 
						|
add them and limit the access by setting ``tokens`` as described in section
 | 
						|
:ref:`private engines`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configure the engines
 | 
						|
=====================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The configuration of the new database engines are similar.  You must put a valid
 | 
						|
SQL-SELECT query in ``query_str``.  At the moment you can only bind at most one
 | 
						|
parameter in your query.  By setting the attribute ``limit`` you can define how
 | 
						|
many results you want from the SQL server.  Basically, it is the same as the
 | 
						|
``LIMIT`` keyword in SQL.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please, do not include ``LIMIT`` or ``OFFSET`` in your SQL query as the engines
 | 
						|
rely on these keywords during paging.  If you want to configure the number of
 | 
						|
returned results use the option ``limit``.
 | 
						|
 |

.. _engine sqlite:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SQLite
 | 
						|
------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sidebar:: info
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - :origin:`sqlite.py <searx/engines/sqlite.py>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _MediathekView: https://mediathekview.de/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SQLite is a small, fast and reliable SQL database engine.  It does not require
 | 
						|
any extra dependency.  To demonstrate the power of database engines, here is a
 | 
						|
more complex example which reads from a MediathekView_ (DE) movie database.  For
 | 
						|
this example of the SQlite engine download the database:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- https://liste.mediathekview.de/filmliste-v2.db.bz2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and unpack into ``searx/data/filmliste-v2.db``.  To search the database use e.g
 | 
						|
Query to test: ``!mediathekview concert``
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - name: mediathekview
 | 
						|
     engine: sqlite
 | 
						|
     disabled: False
 | 
						|
     categories: general
 | 
						|
     result_template: default.html
 | 
						|
     database: searx/data/filmliste-v2.db
 | 
						|
     query_str:  >-
 | 
						|
       SELECT title || ' (' || time(duration, 'unixepoch') || ')' AS title,
 | 
						|
              COALESCE( NULLIF(url_video_hd,''), NULLIF(url_video_sd,''), url_video) AS url,
 | 
						|
              description AS content
 | 
						|
         FROM film
 | 
						|
        WHERE title LIKE :wildcard OR description LIKE :wildcard
 | 
						|
        ORDER BY duration DESC
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Extra Dependencies
 | 
						|
------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For using :ref:`engine postgresql` or :ref:`engine mysql_server` you need to
 | 
						|
install additional packages in Python's Virtual Environment of your SearXNG
 | 
						|
instance.  To switch into the environment (:ref:`searxng-src`) you can use
 | 
						|
:ref:`searxng.sh`::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  $ sudo utils/searxng.sh instance cmd bash
 | 
						|
  (searxng-pyenv)$ pip install ...
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _engine postgresql:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
PostgreSQL
 | 
						|
----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _psycopg2: https://www.psycopg.org/install
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sidebar:: info
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - :origin:`postgresql.py <searx/engines/postgresql.py>`
 | 
						|
   - ``pip install`` psycopg2_
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
PostgreSQL is a powerful and robust open source database.  Before configuring
 | 
						|
the PostgreSQL engine, you must install the dependency ``psychopg2``.  You can
 | 
						|
find an example configuration below:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - name: my_database
 | 
						|
     engine: postgresql
 | 
						|
     database: my_database
 | 
						|
     username: searxng
 | 
						|
     password: password
 | 
						|
     query_str: 'SELECT * from my_table WHERE my_column = %(query)s'
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. _engine mysql_server:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
MySQL
 | 
						|
-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sidebar:: info
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - :origin:`mysql_server.py <searx/engines/mysql_server.py>`
 | 
						|
   - ``pip install`` :pypi:`mysql-connector-python <mysql-connector-python>`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
MySQL is said to be the most popular open source database. Before enabling MySQL
 | 
						|
engine, you must install the package ``mysql-connector-python``.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The authentication plugin is configurable by setting ``auth_plugin`` in the
 | 
						|
attributes.  By default it is set to ``caching_sha2_password``.  This is an
 | 
						|
example configuration for quering a MySQL server:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   - name: my_database
 | 
						|
     engine: mysql_server
 | 
						|
     database: my_database
 | 
						|
     username: searxng
 | 
						|
     password: password
 | 
						|
     limit: 5
 | 
						|
     query_str: 'SELECT * from my_table WHERE my_column=%(query)s'
 | 
						|
