<h1>About <a href="{{ url_for('index') }}">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="{{ url_for('preferences') }}">search engines</a> while not storing information about its users.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<h2>Why use Searx?</h2>
|
|||
|
|
<ul>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Searx may not offer you as personalised results as Google, but it doesn't generate a profile about you</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Searx doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you</li>
|
|||
|
|
<li>Searx is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help to make it better. See more on <a href="https://github.com/asciimoo/searx">github</a></li>
|
|||
|
|
</ul>
|
|||
|
|
<p>If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise 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 is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>,
|
|||
|
|
inspired by the <a href="http://seeks-project.info/">seeks project</a>.<br />
|
|||
|
|
It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except chrome*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In case of Chrome* users there is an exception, Searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests.<br />
|
|||
|
|
Searx can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<h2>How can I make it my own?</h2>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
<p>Searx appreciates your concern 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 reclaim their privacy and make the Internet freer!
|
|||
|
|
<br />The more decentralized the Internet, is the more freedom we have!</p>
