What is SearXNG?

Differences to searx

SearXNG is a fork of searx. Here are some of the changes:

User experience

Huge update of the simple theme:
usable on desktop, tablet and mobile
light and dark versions (you can choose in the preferences)
support right-to-left languages
see the screenshots
the translations are up to date, you can contribute on Weblate
the preferences page has been updated:
you can see which engines are reliable or not
engines are grouped inside each tab
each engine has a description
thanks to the anonymous metrics, it is easier to report a bug of an engine and thus engines get fixed more quickly
if you don't want any metrics to be recorded, you can disable them on the server
administrator can block and/or replace the URLs in the search results

Setup

the Docker image is now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures
you don't need Morty to proxy the images even on a public instance
you get a well maintained Docker image, now also built for ARM64 and ARM/v7 architectures
up to date installation scripts

Contributing is easier

Officially confused... Marketed as an independent, self hostable engine, yet all documentation and downloads just link to Searx resources. Is there a difference Im not understanding between SearXNG and Searx?
