Hello

Low level question. I already have SearxNG up and running.

Now i want to replace all my search engines with it on:

  • Desktop Browser (Mainly Edge but Chrome as well)
  • Mobile Browser (Android Chrome)
  • Mobile Search Bar

I did not found the information on how to do it except for the Desktop Browser that's prety straightforward.
But on the Mobile i need help to se if it's even possible.

Can you please help me?

You need to specify what OS (iOs or Android) and the browsers you use. Without that, there’s no magic wand to figure out your specifics.

I’m sure it’s same as in iOs. Are you able to locate the option for “Search Engines” under the settings? That where to change it.

Look on F-droid store for Android. https://search.f-droid.org/?q=searx

I see one includes mobile search bar support.

No problem so far. Working perfectly here.

I remember the problem I was having, I was constantly getting complaints from Google throttling me and asking for captcha. Do you get this?
