SearXNG Search

SearXNG is a free and open-source metasearch engine that aggregates search results from dozens of search engines and web services including Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, and many others, providing comprehensive search results without tracking users, collecting personal data, or profiling search behavior, designed as a privacy-respecting alternative to commercial search engines that monetize user data through advertising. The metasearch architecture sends user queries to multiple underlying search services simultaneously, then aggregates, deduplicates, and ranks the combined results, providing broader coverage than any single search engine while maintaining neutrality in result ranking without commercial bias or paid placement influencing the displayed results. The privacy protections include no user tracking cookies, no search history storage, no IP address logging, no browser fingerprinting, and no personalized result filtering, ensuring that search activity remains completely anonymous and cannot be used for targeted advertising or behavioral profiling by any party. The self-hosting capability enables anyone to deploy their own instance on personal servers, giving complete control over the search infrastructure and ensuring maximum privacy for security-conscious users and organizations. The customization options include selecting which search engines contribute to results, configuring categories for general web, images, videos, news, maps, music, files, and social media, adjusting result appearance, and setting language preferences. The proxy mode enables accessing search results through the server without direct connections to search engines. Designed for privacy-conscious users, researchers, developers, and organizations valuing data sovereignty.
