<h1 id="searx-is-looking-spicy">Searx is looking spicy</h1>
<p>As you can see in the two categories Searx wins them all! to read more info about the project take a look at.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://github.com/searx/searx">https://github.com/searx/searx</a></li>
<li><a href="https://searx.github.io/searx/">https://searx.github.io/searx/</a></li>
</ol>
<h1 id="to-add-to-the-searx-awesomeness-instances">To add to the Searx awesomeness: INSTANCES</h1>
<p>Searx allows people to host searx on instances. Kind of like librarian/invidious. This makes Searx decentralized. More then just one person is in control.</p>
<h1 id="instances-available">Instances available</h1>
<p>A list of all instances can be found at: <a href="https://searx.space/">https://searx.space/</a>. Here are some instances that I like.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="https://matthewevan.xyz/searx">https://matthewevan.xyz/searx</a></li>
<li><a href="https://anon.sx">https://anon.sx</a></li>
</ol>
<h1 id="how-do-i-set-it-up-in-my-browser">How do I set it up in my browser?</h1>
<p>That's kind of more complicated then it should be because Searx isn't a search engine that browsers have by default.</p>
<p>Luckily, in Chromium-based browsers it's kind of simple to do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Click on the hamburger menu</li>
<li>Go to settings</li>
<li>In settings find something labeled search engine</li>
<li>Click on manage search engines</li>
<li>Find other search engines</li>
<li>Click Add</li>
<li>There will be three options <code>Search Engine</code>, <code>Keyword</code> and <code>URL with %s in place of query</code></li>
<li>In search engine for this tutorial I am going to teach how to add <a href="https://matthewevan.xyz/searx">https://matthewevan.xyz/searx</a></li>
<li>For <code>Search Engine</code> type <a href="https://matthewevan.xyz/searx">https://matthewevan.xyz/searx</a></li>
<li>For <code>Keyword</code> type matthewevan.xyz/searx</li>
<li>For <code>URL with %s in place of query</code> type this: <a href="https://matthewevan.xyz/searx/search?q=%s&amp;categories=general&amp;language=en-US">https://matthewevan.xyz/searx/search?q=%s&amp;categories=general&amp;language=en-US</a></li>
<li>Finally click <code>Save</code>!</li>
</ol>
<p>To add it in a Firefox-based browser under version 89 (before the Proton UI change; includes GNU Icecat) use the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Go to the Searx instance you want to add.</li>
<li>Click on the "Page Actions" menu, the three horizontal dots in the URL bar.</li>
<li>Click the "Add Search Engine" button</li>
<li>(Optional) Go to the "Search" tab in <code>about:preferences</code> and change the Default Search Engine to the instance you just added.</li>
</ol>
<p>In Firefox versions 89+ instead of going into the Page Actions menu, right click on the URL bar and click the <code>Add "&lt;your-instance.com&gt;"</code> button.</p>
<h1 id="bye-bye">Bye Bye</h1>
<p>If everything went good you now have searx as your default search engine. Enjoy!</p>
