Self-Host Your Own Search Engine with SearXNG

Video Description

In this video, we’re diving into SearXNG — the powerful, self-hosted meta search engine that lets you break free from Big Search. Yeah, I probably butchered the name, but that didn’t stop us from going full throttle: we install it using Docker, Portainer, and (optionally) put it behind Nginx Proxy Manager so you can search the web privately from anywhere. We’ll walk through the entire interface, show you how to tweak the settings (there are a lot), customize your engines, filters, and even add themes. Whether you want a private Google alternative or just want to see what search looks like when you’re in control — SearXNG is an awesome project to check out.
