Private searx project is finished¶
+We are officially finished with the Private searx project. The goal was to +extend searx capabilities beyond just searching on the Internet. We added +support for offline engines. These engines do not connect to the Internet, +they find results locally.
+As some of the offline engines run commands on the searx host, we added an +option to protect any engine by making them private. Private engines can only be +accessed using a token.
+After searx was prepared to run offline queries we added numerous new engines:
+-
+
Command line engine
+MySQL
+PostgreSQL
+SQLite
+Redis
+MongoDB
+
We also added new engines that communicate over HTTP, but you might want to keep +them private:
+-
+
Elasticsearch
+Meilisearch
+Solr
+
The last step was to document this work. We added new tutorials on creating +command engines, making engines private and also adding a custom result template +to your own engines.
+Acknowledgement¶
+The project was sponsored by Search and Discovery Fund of NLnet +Foundation. We would like to thank the NLnet for not only the funds, but the +conversations and their ideas. They were truly invested and passionate about +supporting searx.
