#SearXNG

4 posts4 participants1 post today

Ahahaha, I installed #SearXNG + Apache on my #Qubes laptop and now I can set my default search engine to 127.0.0.1 and can curate which engines the aggregator uses.

I am quite pleased with these outcomes.

The wait is (almost) over: Gugal 0.9's first preview version is out!

This update brings features like:
- Support for Stract, an independent search engine,
- An option to move the search bar to the bottom,
- A warning for when there is no Internet,
- Support for HTTP authentication in SearX,
- An experimental backup feature,
- and many more!

Download today at gugal.gitlab.io/preview. Note that preview versions aren't as stable as regular versions.

The fix will come in Gugal 0.8.4.

The changelogs will be up soon, and the version itself will be released in about a week to give translators time to translate a string that was added in this version.

Note that, due to limitations in SearXNG, the rate limits won't be removed entirely. However, Gugal won't be instantly rate limited, and instances won't be marked as "unsupported".

I'm aware of issues when using Gugal with the latest version of SearXNG. It seems that this is because Gugal's requests are incorrectly being recognized as bot requests. A fix will come later as a minor update to 0.8.

DDG já é um avanço considerável. Mais recomendável ainda seria um metabuscador — que entrega resultados de vários mecanismos de busca de conteúdo — como alguma instância de SearXNG, que é #SoftwareLivre podendo inclusive ser autohospedado; indico atualmente o servidor https://busca.bolha.one, bem administrado por @cadusilva@bolha.one no Brasil. Também recomendo https://search.disroot.org e ainda, se permitir JavaScript, https://searx.neocities.org/ que encaminha para servidores aleatórios.

Por cierto, la lista de instancias públicas de #searxng está abajo del todo de la página .org o siguiendo este enlace:

searx.space/

A quien le duela en el alma ver nombrados a Brave o DuckDuckGo que pruebe también:

mojeek.com

Pero sabed que es menos cómodo de usar que todo lo que he mencionado antes y hará que cada búsqueda sea más difícil. A pesar de ello, es una opción muy interesante a la que no hay que perder de vista.

Woops! Sorry folks, I started the #SearXNG update on the wrong instance; the one that was actually live. And the other is not ready yet...
The service will be down until the upgrade is finished. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Blue/Green doesn't solve the between chair and screen bug...
