A few months ago SearX officially stopped development forever. The repo was made read only, and all support for it has ceased. ( GitHub - searx/searx: Privacy-respecting metasearch engine )
With this in mind, should it be planned to exchange out SearX for SearXNG since the development for that is still on going, and is considered the successor to SearX?
I can also try working on this myself by updating the installation scripts.
Any news on that front?
The DuckDuckGo backend of SearX seems not to work any more (luckily the Bing backend still works, but I’d much rather use DuckDuckGo), so it’s become more urgent for me.
If the Debian package for SearXNG comes to fruition, we will be able to quickly add it to FreedomBox (perhaps even to stable users via backports). Are any of your able to contribute to the packaging effort of SearXNG using the packaging already available for SearX?
