<h2>SearxNG on my laptop</h2>
    <h3>05-11-2023</h3>
    <p>To keep my searches private, I've installed SearxNG on the T430.</p>
    <p>Here's how I did it: My OS is Arch linux.</p>
    <pre>
$ cd ~/Downloads 
$ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng 
$ cd searxng sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install all 
</pre
   >
    <p>
      I use Nginx as a web server on my laptop, so I added the following in
      /etc/nginx/sites-available/localhost
    </p>
    <pre>
location /searxng {
  uwsgi_pass unix:///usr/local/searxng/run/socket;
  include uwsgi_params;
  uwsgi_param    HTTP_HOST             $host;
  uwsgi_param    HTTP_CONNECTION       $http_connection;

  # see flaskfix.py
  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_SCHEME         $scheme;
  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_SCRIPT_NAME    /searxng;
  # see limiter.py 
  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_REAL_IP      $remote_addr;
  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
}
</pre
   >
    <p>Navigate to localhost/searxng and there's our search engine.</p>
    <p>
      In order to use it as the default search engine in Firefox, right click on
      the url and select searxng as a search engine.
    </p>
    <p>Then in settings set searxng as the default search engine.</p>
