SearXNG metasearch engine

SearXNG is a free, open-source metasearch engine that aggregates results from more than 70 search services while protecting the privacy of its users. It was created as a fork of the original searx project in mid-2021, primarily to address maintenance issues and to provide a more community-driven development path.

Unlike traditional search engines, SearXNG does not track user behavior or share data with advertisers. Because it is open-source software, there is no single manufacturing facility; instead, it is developed by a global community of contributors and can be self-hosted by anyone on their own servers or used through various public instances available worldwide.

The project is characterized by its decentralized nature. It is not owned by a corporation but is managed through collaborative development on platforms like GitHub, ensuring that its evolution remains focused on user transparency and digital rights.
