SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine that aggregates results from over 70 search services without tracking users.
About SearXNG
SearXNG is a privacy-focused metasearch engine that you can self-host. It pulls results from Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, and many other search services, then presents them on a unified results page. No user data is stored, shared, or sent to third parties. This makes it a strong alternative to commercial search aggregators that track and profile their users.
The project includes a clean web interface with support for themes and custom configurations. You can run it via Docker, a Python virtual environment, or install it directly on Debian or Ubuntu servers. It supports result filtering by categories like files, images, news, and videos. SearXNG also offers an API for integration with other tools like browser search extensions or custom scripts.
Developed as a community fork of the original Searx project, SearXNG is now the more actively maintained version. It is free and open source software licensed under AGPL 3.0. For sysadmins who want a self-contained privacy-respecting search solution for their users or organization, this fits the bill.
