Nowadays, it is practically impossible to do anything without the web and to access that web, we need a Search Engine. But, many of the popular search engines have been accused of data logging and other malicious practises. So, we come with a Search Engine that anonymously indexes data from nearly 80 search engines like Google, Bing, Yandex etc.
What do we use?
For the sake of this article, we will use a tool called Searx. This is a fantastic project brought up by a wonderful team. This tool can compile results from more than 80 search engines.
Clone the repository from GitHub.
We will just do a simple git clone.
git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx
Change The Directory.
cd searx/searx
Edit the settings.yml file like:
We need to change the 'ultrasecretkey' to something else before running for security reasons.
Install the required Python Packages using pip.
python3 -m pip install -r requirments.txt
Now run the server.
python3 webapp.py
The finale.
Now, open the link given by the terminal and you should see your very own instance of SearX. Go ahead and play around for yourself and use it at its best.
