docker-searx

What is searx?

Searx is a metasearch engine, inspired by the seeks project. It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except chrom[e|ium]). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In case of Chrom[e|ium] users there is an exception, Searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests. Searx can be added to your browser’s search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.

Features

• Based on Alpine Linux.
• Latest code from asciimoo/searx
• A unique secret key is generated when booting the first time.

Credits

First of all, thanks to wonderfall for his Dockerfile collection. A lot of this image is based on his image, and was only created because wonderfall discontinued maintainership of all his images.
