Private searx project is finished

+

We are officially finished with the Private searx project. The goal was to +extend searx capabilities beyond just searching on the Internet. We added +support for offline engines. These engines do not connect to the Internet, +they find results locally.

+

As some of the offline engines run commands on the searx host, we added an +option to protect any engine by making them private. Private engines can only be +accessed using a token.

+

After searx was prepared to run offline queries we added numerous new engines:

+
    +

  1. Command line engine

    2. +

  2. MySQL

    3. +

  3. PostgreSQL

    4. +

  4. SQLite

    5. +

  5. Redis

    6. +

  6. MongoDB

    7. +
+

We also added new engines that communicate over HTTP, but you might want to keep +them private:

+
    +

  1. Elasticsearch

    2. +

  2. Meilisearch

    3. +

  3. Solr

    4. +
+

The last step was to document this work. We added new tutorials on creating +command engines, making engines private and also adding a custom result template +to your own engines.

+
+

Acknowledgement

+

The project was sponsored by Search and Discovery Fund of NLnet +Foundation. We would like to thank the NLnet for not only the funds, but the +conversations and their ideas. They were truly invested and passionate about +supporting searx.

+
+
Happy hacking.
