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 issue GET requests.<br /> +Searx can be added to your browser's search bar, moreover it can be set as the default search engine. +</p> + +<h2>How can I have my own?</h2> + <p>Searx appreciates your suspicion regarding logs, so take the <a href="https://github.com/asciimoo/searx">code</a> and run it yourself! <br />Add your Searx to this <a href="https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/wiki/Searx-instances">list</a> to help other people to have privacy and make the Internet freer! <br />The more decentralized the Internet is, the more freedom we have!</p>
