About searx

Searx is a metasearch engine, server program which aggregates the results of other search engines while not storing information about its users.

Why use searx.everdot.org?

• We do not store any personalized information about you or profile you
• The search-results area unbiasted and neutral.
• The software we use is free and open source software. How it works is fully transparent.
  • The meta-search interface is called SearX and the source is available on ongithub
  • Our primary back-end is YaCy and you can get the source-code from yacy.net
• We do log user requests and keep the logs for 24 hours. No logs or other data is kept beyond that.
  • If you are wondering why we keep them at all: It is a simple matter of being able to stop certain classes of problematic bots.
• There are many other public searx instances you can use if you do not like this one.

How can I make it my own?

You may want to consider running your own Searx instance if you care about privacy or otherwise believe in digital freedom.

The source code is readily available and easy to setup. LinuxReviews has a step by step guide describing how to setup SearX on Fedora and Ubuntu. Add your Searx to this list to help other people reclaim their privacy and make the Internet freer! The more decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!
