  5. <h1>About <a href="/">searx</a></h1>
  6. <p>Searx is a meta-search engine inspired by the <a href="http://seeks-project.info/">seeks-project</a>.
  7. <br />It tries to provide basic privacy by mixing your queries with those from others while avoiding storing search data. For all browsers (except chrom*) queries are made using a POST request. Thus they don't show up in our logs, nor in your url history. For Chrom* users there is an exception, searx is used from the search bar, it issues GET requests.
  8. <br />You can add it to your browsers search bar and even make it your default search engine.
