sear.c for Debian sear.c is used as a lightweight replacement for SearX that proxies and caches search results from the Google web search engine. The main advantages over SearX are speed and simplicity. * run the daemon - it starts listening on HTTP port 7327 (remember it by picturing phone keyboard buttons with letters SEAR (; ) * optional: create a reverse proxy for HTTPS * navigate to http://localhost:7327 and do a couple of searches to see if everything works * the horseshoe button redirects directly to the first result without wasting time on the results page. use if you feel lucky. (BP) * check logs by navigating to /logs.html It's not recommended to run a public instance of sear.c yet, as google likes to prevent spam by using a captcha. It's expected that I'll write a simple captcha forwarder so that users of public instances will solve captchas that are presented and keep the instance healthy. Currently it's recommended to run private instances, protected by a password using a reverse HTTP proxy. systemd users can start with service sear.c start please also read the README.md file in the git repository or via web: http://git.sijanec.eu/sijanec/sear.c/src/branch/master/README.md -- Anton Luka Šijanec Sun, 04 Apr 2021 16:00:00 +0200
