This isn’t the case for SearxNG, right‽
Correct. SearxNG is very much still active. Check the GitHub page or matrix/IRC.
Searx is dead, next good fork is searxng. As a long year selfhoster, I am sure next evolution is searxngx.
You a Paperless user too? ;)
Yes, lol.
No one asked but I use both too. Easily handled by a Synology NAS with Docker.
Funny that I found out about it this morning and at night it was abandoned. Makes it look like it was one of my projects lol
Searxng is still going strong
I literally thought about switching to it yesterday -.-
Switch to SearxNG instead
Sure you did
😂
If i had a nickel for every time i switched from a popular app or service to a more privacy respecting alternative and then quickly after announcing that it will end, i would have 2 nickels, which is not a lot, but its weird it happened twice
Searxng is the maintained fork, fyi
Can’t wait for Searxngx
And its successor Searxngx-ng
Weird it happened twice? My god you are a lucky person.
I was using OG SearX for the longest time, it was only until very recently that I discovered that:
- SearXNG was a thing
- SearX had not been updated in years
- and most importantly, that I had been stuck with the unmaintained edition without me even noticing
What is/was it?
Its a meta search engine that you can configure. It’s also selfhostable.
Is it particularly different from LibreX?
Searx was amazing for doing research for school. Sad to see it go.
SearxNG is still here to help
I didn’t know about SearxNG. Long live Searx!
When is SearsNG: Drive coming out?
And here I was not having gotten around to setting it up yet. Are there any particular reason it is forked instead of ownership being transferred or something?
Searx and Searxng existed side by side for a long time. Searx had a focus on privacy without compromising, Searxng has a focus on usability. So Searxng uses javascript, works better on mobile, and does things like search suggestions.
I think there was a disagreement on direction of the project so it was forked and both versions were maintained until now when they are reasonable different from each other and the original is falling behind in features and updates.
Thanks for the explanation :)
I self-hosted searx for a long time and it was clear to me that was the case so I migrated to searxng.
I just switched from google to searx 2 days ago
TIL about searx.
I just setup my self hosted searxng yesterday… I don’t know how I went without this for so long!
Switch to 4get, It’s better. 4get.ca https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get
Better how?
The Gittea theme is terrible for the eyes 🫤
A single reply to offend thousands of peoples🫡 (i don’t use gruvbox personally)
Seems to find things easier than Brave from just a few test searches. I’ll keep using it for now
That theme is horrible
Thanks ! Didnt know about that. Just what i needed.

Whaaaaaa?!
There’s a fork called searxng that is still very active
This doesn’t surprise me at all.
