<h1>About <a href="/">searx</a></h1>
|
||
|
||
<p>Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>, aggregating the results of other <a href="/engines">search engines</a> while not storing information about its users.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<h2>Why use Searx?</h2>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Maybe Searx won’t offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't make a profile about you</li>
|
||
<li>Searx doesn't care about what you search, never shares anything with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you</li>
|
||
<li>Searx doesn't make money on ads and it isn't customised based on your interests. You get the pure search results</li>
|
||
<li>Searx is a free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make it better. See more on <a href="https://gmail.com/asciimoo/searx">github</a></li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, moreover believe
|
||
in digital freedom, make Searx your default search engine or run it on your own server</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2>Technical details - How does it work?</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>Searx appreciates your suspicion regarding logs, so take the <a href="https://github.com/asciimoo/searx">code</a> and run it yourself! <br />Add your Searx to this <a href="https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/wiki/Searx-instances">list</a> to help other people to have privacy and make the Internet freer!
|
||
<br />The more decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!</p>
