About

SearXNG is a free and privacy-focused metasearch engine that can be self-hosted. It aggregates results from over 80 search engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Wikipedia, etc.) while keeping your searches private - no tracking, no logging, no personalization. It strips tracking parameters from URLs, blocks ads in results, and gives you a clean interface. You can customize which engines to use, create themes, enable infinite scroll, and set default preferences. Perfect for privacy-conscious users who want the power of multiple search engines without being tracked.

How to Self-Host SearXNG

SearXNG can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what SearXNG does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.

If you searched for SearXNG Docker, SearXNG Docker Compose, or self-host SearXNG, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.
