erghel / searxng-web-extension Goto Github PK

Could you add a simple option where I can put in the link to my searx instance?

I barely could find this useful extension on Firefox Addons page. Had to find it through external search engine.

It needs to leverage more keywords in description, like "searx". "SearXNG" doesn't appear anywhere in the first page of search by keywords "searx", which makes it seem like an oversight. Firefox Addons catalog has a bit unintuitive search mechanism, unfortunately.

"How come Firefox doesn't come bundled with SearXNG search provider out-of-the-box?"

Now, that's another question, but it should be addressed to Firefox repositories. Let alone their binding to Google-first, of course.

So, it's another UX concern when it comes to metasearch. There actually might be a way to make suggestions work.

And this file has a useful link in it: https://searx.be/opensearch.xml.

This one autocompletes the query: https://searx.be/autocompleter?q={searchTerms}.
