searxist App

searxist (pronounce: searchist) is a simple Android app to wrap SearXNG in a WebView with Material You colors, plus some system integrations. Features
  • 🌙 Material You theming
  • 🔍 System search integration (search bar widget, popup text action)
  • 🌐 Choose from public SearXNG instances or add your own
  • 🛡️ Privacy-focused (no unnecessary data collection!)
  • 📱 Supports Android 5+
Why would I want to use this? Unlike other search apps, this app uses SearXNG, which is a free and open-source metasearch engine. (learn more at https://docs.searxng.org) When you use SearXNG, your search queries get proxied before passing it to various search engines. Not only you'll get various results, it also preserves privacy since the searches aren't directly linked to you. The app provides a list of public instances from https://searx.space for you to use. If you have an instance (either that you host yourself or hosted by someone else), you can add it as well. If you do use your own instance, make sure other people are also using it to blend in. If the instance is used by only one person, search engines can still link the searches back to you. The app does not collect any information; it only passes search queries to the SearXNG instance that you use.
