Differences to searx

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

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
- see the screenshots
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
thanks to the anonymous metrics, it is easier to report a bug of an engine and thus engines get fixed more quickly
- if you don't want any metrics to be recorded, you can disable them on the server
administrator can block and/or replace the URLs in the search results

Setup

you don't need Morty to proxy the images even on a public instance
you don't need Filtron to block bots, we implemented the builtin limiter
you get a well maintained Docker image, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures
alternatively we have 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

We need translators, suggestions are welcome at https://translate.codeberg.org/projects/searxng/searxng/
