|
``port`` :
|
|
Port number of the searx web application if you run it directly using ``python
|
|
searx/webapp.py``. Doesn't apply to searx running on Apache or Nginx.
|
|
|
|
``secret_key`` :
|
|
Used for cryptography purpose.
|
|
|
|
``debug`` :
|
|
Allow a more detailed log if you run searx directly. Display *detailed* error
|
|
messages in the browser too, so this must be deactivated in production.
|
|
|
|
``request_timeout`` :
|
|
Global timeout of the requests made to others engines in seconds. A bigger
|
|
timeout will allow to wait for answers from slow engines, but in consequence
|
|
will slow searx reactivity (the result page may take the time specified in the
|
|
timeout to load)
|
|
|
|
``base_url`` :
|
|
The base URL where searx is deployed. Used to create correct inbound links.
|
|
|
|
``themes_path`` :
|
|
Path to where the themes are located. If you didn't develop anything, leave it
|
|
blank.
|
|
|
|
``default_theme`` :
|
|
Name of the theme you want to use by default on your searx instance.
|
|
|
|
``useragent_suffix`` :
|
|
Suffix to the user-agent searx uses to send requests to others engines. If an
|
|
engine wish to block you, a contact info here may be useful to avoid that.
|
|
|
|
``image_proxy`` :
|
|
Allow your instance of searx of being able to proxy images. Uses memory space.
|
|
|
|
``default_locale`` :
|
|
Searx interface language. If blank, the locale is detected by using the
|
|
browser language. If it doesn't work, or you are deploying a language
|
|
specific instance of searx, a locale can be defined using an ISO language
|
|
code, like ``fr``, ``en``, ``de``.

|
|
.. _PySocks: https://pypi.org/project/PySocks/
|
|
|
|
``proxies`` :
|
|
Define one or more proxies you wish to use, see `requests proxies`_.
|
|
If there are more than one proxy for one protocol (http, https),
|
|
requests to the engines are distributed in a round-robin fashion.
|
|
|
|
``source_ips`` :
|
|
If you use multiple network interfaces, define from which IP the requests must
|
|
be made. This parameter is ignored when ``proxies`` is set.
|
|
|
|
``locales`` :
|
|
Locales codes and their names. Available translations of searx interface.

``name`` :
|
|
Name that will be used across searx to define this engine. In settings, on
|
|
the result page...
|
|
|
|
``engine`` :
|
|
Name of the python file used to handle requests and responses to and from this
|
|
search engine.
|
|
|
|
``shortcut`` :
|
|
Code used to execute bang requests (in this case using ``!bi`` or ``?bi``)
|
|
|
|
``base_url`` : optional
|
|
Part of the URL that should be stable across every request. Can be useful to
|
|
use multiple sites using only one engine, or updating the site URL without
|
|
touching at the code.
|
|
|
|
``categories`` : optional
|
|
Define in which categories this engine will be active. Most of the time, it is
|
|
defined in the code of the engine, but in a few cases it is useful, like when
|
|
describing multiple search engine using the same code.
|
|
|
|
``timeout`` : optional
|
|
Timeout of the search with the current search engine. **Be careful, it will
|
|
modify the global timeout of searx.**
|
|
|
|
``api_key`` : optional
|
|
In a few cases, using an API needs the use of a secret key. How to obtain them
|
|
is described in the file.
|
|
|
|
``disabled`` : optional
|
|
To disable by default the engine, but not deleting it. It will allow the user
|
|
to manually activate it in the settings.
|
|
|
|
``language`` : optional
|
|
If you want to use another language for a specific engine, you can define it
|
|
by using the full ISO code of language and country, like ``fr_FR``, ``en_US``,
|
|
``de_DE``.
|
|
|
|
``weigth`` : default ``1``
|
|
Weighting of the results of this engine.
|
|
|
|
``display_error_messages`` : default ``True``
|
|
When an engine returns an error, the message is displayed on the user interface.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
A few more options are possible, but they are pretty specific to some
|
|
engines, and so won't be described here.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _settings location:
|
|
|
|
settings.yml location
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
First, searx will try to load settings.yml from these locations:
|
|
|
|
1. the full path specified in the ``SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH`` environment variable.
|
|
2. ``/etc/searx/settings.yml``
|
|
|
|
If these files don't exist (or are empty or can't be read), searx uses the :origin:`searx/settings.yml` file.
|
|
|
|
.. _ settings use_default_settings:
|
|
|
|
use_default_settings
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If searx is cloned from a git repository, most probably there is no need to have an user settings.
|
|
|
|
The user defined settings.yml can relied on the default configuration :origin:`searx/settings.yml` using ``use_default_settings: True``.
|
|
|
|
In the following example, the actual settings are the default settings defined in :origin:`searx/settings.yml` with the exception of the ``secret_key`` and the ``bind_address``:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
use_default_settings: True
|
|
server:
|
|
secret_key: "uvys6bRhKHUdFF5CqbJonSDSRN8H0sCBziNSrDGNVdpz7IeZhveVart3yvghoKHA"
|
|
bind_address: "0.0.0.0"
|
|
|
|
With ``use_default_settings: True``, each settings can be override in a similar way, the ``engines`` section is merged according to the engine ``name``.
|
|
|
|
In this example, searx will load all the engine and the arch linux wiki engine has a :ref:`token<private engines>`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
use_default_settings: True
|
|
server:
|
|
secret_key: "uvys6bRhKHUdFF5CqbJonSDSRN8H0sCBziNSrDGNVdpz7IeZhveVart3yvghoKHA"
|
|
engines:
|
|
- name: arch linux wiki
|
|
tokens: ['$ecretValue']
|
|
|
|
It is possible to remove some engines from the default settings. The following example is similar to the above one, but searx doesn't load the the google engine:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
use_default_settings:
|
|
engines:
|
|
remove:
|
|
- google
|
|
server:
|
|
secret_key: "uvys6bRhKHUdFF5CqbJonSDSRN8H0sCBziNSrDGNVdpz7IeZhveVart3yvghoKHA"
|
|
engines:
|
|
- name: arch linux wiki
|
|
tokens: ['$ecretValue']
|
|
|
|
As an alternative, it is possible to specify the engines to keep. In the following example, searx has only two engines:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
use_default_settings:
|
|
engines:
|
|
keep_only:
|
|
- google
|
|
- duckduckgo
|
|
server:
|
|
secret_key: "uvys6bRhKHUdFF5CqbJonSDSRN8H0sCBziNSrDGNVdpz7IeZhveVart3yvghoKHA"
|
|
engines:
|
|
- name: google
|
|
tokens: ['$ecretValue']
|
|
- name: duckduckgo
|
|
tokens: ['$ecretValue']
|
