Differences to searx
====================

SearXNG is a fork of `searx`_.  Here are some of the changes:

.. _searx: https://github.com/searx/searx


User experience
---------------

- Huge update of the simple theme:

  * usable on desktop, tablet and mobile
  * light and dark versions (you can choose in the preferences)
  * support right-to-left languages

- the translations are up to date, you can contribute on `Weblate`_
- the preferences page has been updated:

  * you can see which engines are reliable or not
  * engines are grouped inside each tab
  * each engine has a description

- it is easier to report a bug of an engine
- but you can also disable the recording of the metrics on the server


Setup
-----

- the Docker image is now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures
- you don't need `Morty`_ to proxy the images even on a public instance
- on the way to embed `Filtron`_ into SearXNG
- up to date installation scripts


Contributing is easier
----------------------

- readable debug log
- contributions to the themes are made easier, check out our `Development
  Quickstart`_ guide
- a lot of code cleanup and bug fixes
- the dependencies are up to date
