# About [searxng][url_for:index]

SearXNG is a fork from the well-known [searx] [metasearch engine], aggregating

the results of other [search engines][url_for:preferences] while not storing

information about its users.

---

## Why use it?

* SearXNG may not offer you as personalised results as Google,

  but it doesn't generate a profile about you.

* SearXNG doesn't care about what you search for, never shares anything

  with a third party, and it can't be used to compromise you.

* SearXNG is free software, the code is 100% open and you can help

  to make it better.  See more on [SearXNG sources][brand.git_url].

If you do care about privacy, want to be a conscious user, or otherwise

believe in digital freedom, make SearXNG your default search engine or run

it on your own server

## Technical details - How does it work?

SearXNG is a [metasearch engine], inspired by the [seeks project].  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 Chromium-based browsers*).  Therefore they show up in neither our logs,

nor your url history. In the case of Chromium-based browser users there is an

exception: searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests.  SearXNG can be

added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default

search engine.

## How to set as the default search engine?

SearXNG supports [OpenSearch].  For more information on changing your default

search engine, see your browser's documentation:

* [Firefox](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox)

* [Microsoft Edge](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028574/microsoft-edge-change-the-default-search-engine)

* Chromium-based browsers [only add websites that the user navigates to without a path.](https://www.chromium.org/tab-to-search)

## Where to find anonymous usage statistics of this instance ?

[Stats page][url_for:stats] contains some useful data about the engines used.

## How can I make it my own?

SearXNG appreciates your concern regarding logs, so take the code from

the [SearXNG project][brand.git_url] and run it yourself!

Add your instance to this [list of public instances][brand.public_instances] to

help other people reclaim their privacy and make the Internet freer!  The more

decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!
