 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -One of the biggest advantages of searx is being extremely customizable. But at
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -first it can be daunting to newcomers.  A barrier of taking advantage of this
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -feature is our ugly settings file which is sometimes hard to understand and
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -edit.
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -To make self-hosting searx more accessible a new tool is introduced, called
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -``searx-admin``.  It is a web application which is capable of managing your
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -instance and manipulating its settings via a web UI.  It aims to replace editing
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -of ``settings.yml`` for less experienced administrators or people who prefer
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -graphical admin interfaces.

				|  |  | -Since ``searx-admin`` acts as a supervisor for searx, we have decided to
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -implement it as a standalone tool instead of part of searx.  Another reason for
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -making it a standalone tool is that the codebase and dependencies of searx
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -should not grow because of a fully optional feature, which does not affect
 | 
	
		
			
				|  |  | -existing instances.
