Example: Multilingual Search
----------------------------
SearXNG does not support true multilingual search. You have to use the language
prefix in your search query when searching in a different language.
But there is a workaround: By adding a new search engine with a different
language, SearXNG will search in your default and other language.
Example configuration in settings.yml for a German and English speaker:
.. code-block:: yaml
search:
default_lang : "de"
...
engines:
- name : google english
engine : google
language : en
...
When searching, the default google engine will return German results and
"google english" will return English results.
