<h2>Technical details - How does it work?</h2>
<p>Searx is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasearch_engine">metasearch engine</a>,
inspired by the <a href="http://seeks-project.info/">seeks project</a>.<br />
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 don't show up in our logs, neither in 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.
