Self-hostable frontend for various search engines.

Privacy-wise it's useful to use a public instance. All requests to, say, Google, will come from one instance, so the profile Google creates is based on multiple people rather than a single person.

Feature-wise I'm attracted to the idea of setting it up to use a search that filters out garbage websites, or even a really focused search specific to a topic (so a curated list of websites search for a game-making web search for Game Making Tools, for example).

• [question] What's the difference between searx and searxng?
• README.rst#Differences to searx
• [question] hostname_replace plugin: what results do you ignore? - ng can ignore domains. Though I think this now equally exists in the original?
  • And may expand this feature: A feature that prioritizes certain websites for higher placement in search results
