Searx is a free metasearch engine, available under the GNU AGPL 3, with the aim of protecting the privacy of its users. To this end, searx does not share users' IP addresses or search history with the search engines from which it gathers results.

By default, searx queries are submitted via HTTP POST, to prevent users' query keywords from appearing in webserver logs.
