    This isn’t the case for SearxNG, right‽

      Correct. SearxNG is very much still active. Check the GitHub page or matrix/IRC.

      Its a meta search engine that you can configure. It’s also selfhostable.

    I was using OG SearX for the longest time, it was only until very recently that I discovered that:

    • SearXNG was a thing
    • SearX had not been updated in years
    • and most importantly, that I had been stuck with the unmaintained edition without me even noticing

    And here I was not having gotten around to setting it up yet. Are there any particular reason it is forked instead of ownership being transferred or something?

      Searx and Searxng existed side by side for a long time. Searx had a focus on privacy without compromising, Searxng has a focus on usability. So Searxng uses javascript, works better on mobile, and does things like search suggestions.

      I think there was a disagreement on direction of the project so it was forked and both versions were maintained until now when they are reasonable different from each other and the original is falling behind in features and updates.

    I self-hosted searx for a long time and it was clear to me that was the case so I migrated to searxng.
