✨ [REQUEST] SearXNG #1225

Closed LoganJFisher closed 8 months ago

Which addon?

SearXNG

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

SearXNG is a popular free and open source internet metasearch engine. While public servers do exist, it is generally recommended that users should self-host it to have more control over their experience and assure their privacy. A Home Assistant add-on for SearXNG would make doing so all the more accessible.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to see the creation of a Home Assistant add-on for SearXNG.

Hi, I already have a self-hosted serach engine in the repo that is whoogle ; I do understand that there is differences between both (https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/comments/p82v2j/searx_vs_whoogle/) but given I have less time than optimal to support the addons I prefer to avoid duplicates

LoganJFisher commented 8 months ago

That's fair. I'll give that a look.

I ultimately worked out how to host SearXNG through Docker on my own. Whoogle just lacked some functionality I wanted. In any case, I'm closing this since I personally no longer have any need for the creation of this add-on.
