Whaaaaaa?!
Searx is dead, next good fork is searxng. As a long year selfhoster, I am sure next evolution is searxngx.
If i had a nickel for every time i switched from a popular app or service to a more privacy respecting alternative and then quickly after announcing that it will end, i would have 2 nickels, which is not a lot, but its weird it happened twice
Searxng is the maintained fork, fyi
Can’t wait for Searxngx
And its successor Searxngx-ng
Weird it happened twice? My god you are a lucky person.
Searx was amazing for doing research for school. Sad to see it go.
Funny that I found out about it this morning and at night it was abandoned. Makes it look like it was one of my projects lol
And here I was not having gotten around to setting it up yet. Are there any particular reason it is forked instead of ownership being transferred or something?
Searx and Searxng existed side by side for a long time. Searx had a focus on privacy without compromising, Searxng has a focus on usability. So Searxng uses javascript, works better on mobile, and does things like search suggestions.
I think there was a disagreement on direction of the project so it was forked and both versions were maintained until now when they are reasonable different from each other and the original is falling behind in features and updates.
Thanks for the explanation :)
This doesn’t surprise me at all.
