	We have built up detailed documentation of the *settings* and the *engines* over the past few years. However, this documentation was still spread over various chapters and was difficult to navigate in its entirety. This patch rearranges the Settings & Engines documentation for better readability.

| 
 | |
| 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`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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 ...
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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``.
