Searx has the interesting benefit of being libre and self-hostable. What do you guys think?

    I love SearX. I particularly like the server at search.privacytools.io, it seems to provide more relevant results than the default server at searx.me.

    I do plan on running my own so that i can customize the results a bit better.

    What i would love to see is some type of add on or plugin that allows searching torrent sites. /u/dessalines has been working on a good torrent search engine, i wonder what the difficulty would be to implement it as a plugin for searx.

      Here it is, torrents.csv. That’s an instance but its also self-hostable.

      The API is pretty simple: http://localhost:8902/service/search?q=[QUERY]&size=[NUMBER_OF_RESULTS]&offset=[PAGE]

      They’ve already added it to jackett. I’m not sure what it’d take to add it to searx.
