Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: av...@imrua.org * Package name : searxng Version : 1.0.0 Upstream Author : Markus Heiser * URL : https://docs.searxng.org * License : AGPL-3+ Programming Lang: Python, Node.js Description : Privacy-respecting, hackable metasearch engine
- Why is this package useful/relevant? SearxNG is a self-hosted metasearch engine, and a longstanding (10 years), maintained fork of Searx. Searx is currently packaged for Debian, and part of the FreedomBox pure blend. Unfortunately, as has been widely reported, Searx is no longer maintained (https://github.com/searx/searx "This repository has been archived by the owner on Sep 7, 2023. It is now read-only."). Packaging SearxNG would provide a replacement for Debian users looking to self-host their search engine.
