+Searx admin interface: manage your instance from your browser
+=============================================================
+
+One of the biggest advantages of searx is being extremely customizable. But at first it can be daunting to newcomers.
+A barrier of taking advantage of this feature is our ugly settings file which is sometimes hard to understand and edit.
+
+To make self-hosting searx more accessible a new tool is introduced, called ``searx-admin``.
+It is a web application which is capable of managing your instance and manipulating its settings via a web UI.
+It aims to replace editing of ``settings.yml`` for less experienced administrators or people
+who prefer graphical admin interfaces.

+
+Since ``searx-admin`` acts as a supervisor for searx, we have decided to implement it
+as a standalone tool instead of part of searx. Another reason for making it a standalone
+tool is that the codebase and dependencies of searx should not grow because of a fully optional feature,
+which does not affect existing instances.

+Installation
