Experimenting with [Wayback/Archive] SearX: a privacy-respecting, open metasearch engine

- [Wayback/Archive] About SearXNG – SearX
SearXNG is a fork from the well-known searx metasearch engine which was inspired by the Seeks project. It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. SearXNG can be added to your browser’s search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.

- [Wayback/Archive] searxng/searxng: SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from various search services and databases. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.
This effort is part of fiddling around with various Search Engines to get a feel on how well they perform on aspects like user experience, privacy and usability of search results. Trying out the full list of search engines is too time consuming, so I’m limiting myself a bit (:
