-It provides basic privacy by mixing your queries with searches on other platforms without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request on every browser (except chrome*). Therefore they show up in neither our logs, nor your url history. In case of Chrome* users there is an exception, searx uses the search bar to perform GET requests.<br />
|
|
|
-Searx can be added to your browser's search bar; moreover, it can be set as the default search engine.
