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

This isn't the case for SearxNG, right‽

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

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

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

What is/was it?

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

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

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?

I just switched from google to searx 2 days ago

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

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

Whaaaaaa?!

This doesn’t surprise me at all.

What??
