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:
1. Command line engine
2. MySQL
3. PostgreSQL
4. SQLite
5. Redis
6. MongoDB
We also added new engines that communicate over HTTP, but you might want to keep
them private:
1. Elasticsearch
2. Meilisearch
3. 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.
