This isn't the case for SearxNG, right‽

[-] manwichmakesameal@lemmy.world 82 points 2 years ago

Correct. SearxNG is very much still active. Check the GitHub page or matrix/IRC.

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 91 points 2 years ago

Searx is dead, next good fork is searxng. As a long year selfhoster, I am sure next evolution is searxngx.

[-] DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 44 points 2 years ago

You a Paperless user too? ;)

[-] Samsy@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years ago

Yes, lol.

[-] OldPain@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

No one asked but I use both too. Easily handled by a Synology NAS with Docker.

[-] iamhangry@programming.dev 54 points 2 years ago

Funny that I found out about it this morning and at night it was abandoned. Makes it look like it was one of my projects lol

[-] blackfire@lemmy.world 30 points 2 years ago

Searxng is still going strong

[-] Cinnamon3431@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I literally thought about switching to it yesterday -.-

[-] twei@feddit.de 36 points 2 years ago

Switch to SearxNG instead

If i had a nickel for every time i switched from a popular app or service to a more privacy respecting alternative and then quickly after announcing that it will end, i would have 2 nickels, which is not a lot, but its weird it happened twice

[-] JackRiddle@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

Searxng is the maintained fork, fyi

[-] Auli@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago

Can't wait for Searxngx

[-] Atemu@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

And its successor Searxngx-ng

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Weird it happened twice? My god you are a lucky person.

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 28 points 2 years ago

I was using OG SearX for the longest time, it was only until very recently that I discovered that:

SearXNG was a thing
SearX had not been updated in years
and most importantly, that I had been stuck with the unmaintained edition without me even noticing

[-] uninvitedguest@lemmy.ca 19 points 2 years ago

What is/was it?

[-] gunpachi@lemmings.world 20 points 2 years ago

Its a meta search engine that you can configure. It's also selfhostable.

[-] Mugmoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Is it particularly different from LibreX?

[-] moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 years ago

Searx was amazing for doing research for school. Sad to see it go.

[-] Kata1yst@kbin.social 45 points 2 years ago

SearxNG is still here to help

[-] moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago

I didn't know about SearxNG. Long live Searx!

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

When is SearsNG: Drive coming out?

[-] Urist@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

And here I was not having gotten around to setting it up yet. Are there any particular reason it is forked instead of ownership being transferred or something?

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Searx and Searxng existed side by side for a long time. Searx had a focus on privacy without compromising, Searxng has a focus on usability. So Searxng uses javascript, works better on mobile, and does things like search suggestions.

I think there was a disagreement on direction of the project so it was forked and both versions were maintained until now when they are reasonable different from each other and the original is falling behind in features and updates.

[-] Urist@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks for the explanation :)

[-] sj_zero@lotide.fbxl.net 10 points 2 years ago

I self-hosted searx for a long time and it was clear to me that was the case so I migrated to searxng.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 8 points 2 years ago

I just switched from google to searx 2 days ago

[-] protput@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

TIL about searx.

[-] techgearwhips@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I just setup my self hosted searxng yesterday... I don't know how I went without this for so long!

[-] asmodeus@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Switch to 4get, It's better. 4get.ca https://git.lolcat.ca/lolcat/4get

[-] tkc@feddit.uk 8 points 2 years ago

Better how?

[-] morethanevil@lemmy.fedifriends.social 5 points 2 years ago

The Gittea theme is terrible for the eyes 🫤

[-] linad@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

A single reply to offend thousands of peoples🫡 (i don't use gruvbox personally)

[-] sic_semper_tyrannis@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago

Seems to find things easier than Brave from just a few test searches. I'll keep using it for now

[-] techgearwhips@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That theme is horrible

[-] NGC2346@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks ! Didnt know about that. Just what i needed.

[-] 4anon@sh.itjust.works -3 points 2 years ago

Wow, this is amazing! Brilliant work!

[-] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 2 points 2 years ago

Are you a bot/shill account?

[-] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Whaaaaaa?!

[-] odium@programming.dev 16 points 2 years ago

There's a fork called searxng that is still very active

[-] lilShalom@lemmy.basedcount.com 1 points 2 years ago

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

[-] TowerofPimps@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago
