1 # Searx Tools
2
3 The searx tools help you to maintain a privacy‐aware search in the web.
4
5 Searx[0] is mainly hosted at searx.me, which creates a burden for the
6 hobby developers of this project. The goal is to decentralize. Your
7 first goal should be to setup your own searx instance[1]. But, if your
8 instance is working, publish it. If you are the only user of the searx
9 instance it is easy to track you down. The privacy gain of searx is to
10 have many users and hide yourself behind the flare of common search
11 queries to all kind of searxh websites.
12
13 The searx tools help you to maintain this.
14
15 ## Usage
16
17 Initialize the ~/.searx-instances file:
18
19 % searx-instances-update
20
21 Get a searx instance:
22
23 % searx-instances-random
24
25 Plumb[2] the search for some query:
26
27 % searx where is my house?
28
29 ## Updating the .searc-instances file
30
31 You can use a cron job for this. Beware that as of writing (2017‐05‐13),
32 the instances website is really slow, so I decided to only download the
33 working instances on demand.
34
35 ## Replacing plumb[2]
36
37 Open the file »searx« and change »plumb« to for example »xdg-open«.
