 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +With the *SQL engines* you can bind SQL databases into SearxNG.  The following
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) are supported:
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +- :ref:`engine sqlite`
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +- :ref:`engine postgresql`
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +- :ref:`engine mysql_server`
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +All of the engines above are just commented out in the :origin:`settings.yml
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +<searx/settings.yml>`, as you have to set the required attributes for the
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +engines, e.g. ``database:`` ...
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +.. code:: yaml
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +   - name: ...
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +     engine: {sqlite|postgresql|mysql_server}
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +     database: ...
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +     result_template: {template_name}
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +     query_str: ...
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +By default, the engines use the ``key-value`` template for displaying results /
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +see :origin:`oscar <searx/templates/oscar/result_templates/key-value.html>` &
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +:origin:`simple <searx/templates/simple/result_templates/key-value.html>`
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +themes.  If you are not satisfied with the original result layout, you can use
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +your own template, set ``result_template`` attribute to ``{template_name}`` and
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +place the templates at::
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +  searx/templates/{theme_name}/result_templates/{template_name}
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +As mentioned in previous blog posts, if you do not wish to expose these engines
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +on a public instance, you can still add them and limit the access by setting
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +``tokens`` as described in section :ref:`private engines`.
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +Configure the engines
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +=====================
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +The configuration of the new database engines are similar.  You must put a valid
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +SQL-SELECT query in ``query_str``.  At the moment you can only bind at most one
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +parameter in your query.  By setting the attribute ``limit`` you can define how
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +many results you want from the SQL server.  Basically, it is the same as the
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +``LIMIT`` keyword in SQL.
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +Please, do not include ``LIMIT`` or ``OFFSET`` in your SQL query as the engines
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +rely on these keywords during paging.  If you want to configure the number of
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +returned results use the option ``limit``.

 |  | +SQLite is a small, fast and reliable SQL database engine.  It does not require
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +any extra dependency.  To demonstrate the power of database engines, here is a
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +more complex example which reads from a MediathekView_ (DE) movie database.  For
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +this example of the SQlite engine download the database:
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 |

 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +and unpack into ``searx/data/filmliste-v2.db``.  To search the database use e.g
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +Query to test: ``!mediathekview concert``
 |

 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +For using :ref:`engine postgresql` or :ref:`engine mysql_server` you need to
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +install additional packages in Python's Virtual Environment of your SearxNG
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +instance.  To switch into the environment (:ref:`searx-src`) you can use
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +:ref:`searx.sh`::
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +  $ sudo utils/searx.sh shell
 | 
											
												
													
														|  | 
 |  | +  (searx-pyenv)$ pip install ...
