What is a privacy-focused meta-search engine and how does it protect my data?

A privacy-focused meta-search engine queries multiple search engines simultaneously without tracking user data. SearXNG aggregates results from over 70 sources while preventing profiling, ensuring your search queries remain anonymous and are not stored or shared.

How do I search the web using a self-hosted SearXNG instance?

To search using a self-hosted SearXNG instance, set the SEARXNG_URL environment variable to your instance address. You can then execute search queries directly, routing your requests through your own privacy-focused meta-search setup for complete control.

No API key is required to use the SearXNG meta-search engine. It provides free, instant access to aggregated results from multiple search engines, functioning effectively as a no-cost fallback for standard web search tools.

Can I use SearXNG as a fallback when my primary web search tool is unavailable?

Yes, SearXNG is designed to be used as a fallback for standard web search tools. When your primary search toolset is unavailable, it automatically aggregates results from multiple search engines to maintain your workflow availability.

What's the best way to query multiple search engines at once without tracking?
