SearXNG is a free and open-source metasearch engine designed to aggregate results from multiple search engines while prioritizing user privacy and anonymity. Instead of maintaining its own index, it queries numerous external search providers and merges the results into a single interface, increasing coverage and diversity of information. One of its core principles is privacy, as it does not track users, store personal data, or create search profiles, making it a strong alternative to traditional search engines. . The system can be self-hosted, allowing individuals or organizations to run their own private search instance with full control over configuration and data handling. It supports extensive customization, including selecting which engines to query, filtering content, and adjusting ranking or display behavior. Developers can also integrate it into other tools through its API, enabling automation and advanced workflows.
