This page describe the options possibilities of the settings.yml file.
.. _settings global:
Global Settings
===============
.. code:: yaml
server:
port : 8888
secret_key : "ultrasecretkey" # change this!
debug : False # debug mode, only for development
request_timeout : 2.0 # seconds
base_url : False # set custom base_url (or False)
themes_path : "" # custom ui themes path
default_theme : oscar # ui theme
useragent_suffix : "" # suffix of searx_useragent, could contain
# informations like admins email address
image_proxy : False # proxying image results through searx
default_locale : "" # default interface locale
# uncomment below section if you want to use a proxy
#outgoing_proxies :
# http : http://127.0.0.1:8080
# https: http://127.0.0.1:8080
# uncomment below section only if you have more than one network interface
# which can be the source of outgoing search requests
#source_ips:
# - 1.1.1.1
# - 1.1.1.2
locales:
en : English
de : Deutsch
he : Hebrew
hu : Magyar
fr : Français
es : Español
it : Italiano
nl : Nederlands
ja : 日本語 (Japanese)
tr : Türkçe
ru : Russian
ro : Romanian
``port`` :
Port number of the searx web application if you run it directly using ``python
searx/webapp.py``. Doesn't apply to searx running on Apache or Nginx.
``secret_key`` :
Used for cryptography purpose.
``debug`` :
Allow a more detailed log if you run searx directly. Display *detailed* error
messages in the browser too, so this must be deactivated in production.
``request_timeout`` :
Global timeout of the requests made to others engines in seconds. A bigger
timeout will allow to wait for answers from slow engines, but in consequence
will slow searx reactivity (the result page may take the time specified in the
timeout to load)
``base_url`` :
The base URL where searx is deployed. Used to create correct inbound links.
``themes_path`` :
Path to where the themes are located. If you didn't develop anything, leave it
blank.
``default_theme`` :
Name of the theme you want to use by default on you searx instance.
``useragent_suffix`` :
Suffix to the user-agent searx uses to send requests to others engines. If an
engine wish to block you, a contact info here may be useful to avoid that.
``image_proxy`` :
Allow your instance of searx of being able to proxy images. Uses memory space.
``default_locale`` :
Aearx interface language. If blank, the locale is detected by using the
browser language. If it doesn't work, or you are deploying a language
specific instance of searx, a locale can be defined using an ISO language
code, like ``fr``, ``en``, ``de``.
.. _requests proxies: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#proxies
.. _PR SOCKS support: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/pull/478
``outgoing_proxies`` :
Define a proxy you wish to use, see `requests proxies`_. SOCKS proxies are
not supported / see `PR SOCKS support`.
``source_ips`` :
If you use multiple nework interfaces, define from which IP the requests must
be made.
``locales`` :
Locales codes and their names. Available translations of searx interface.
.. _settings engine:
Engine settings
===============
.. sidebar:: Further reading ..
- :ref:`engines-dev`
.. code:: yaml
- name : bing
engine : bing
shortcut : bi
base_url : 'https://{language}.wikipedia.org/'
categories : general
timeout : 3.0
api_key : 'apikey'
disabled : True
language : en_US
``name`` :
Name that will be used accross searx to define this engine. In settings, on
the result page...
``engine`` :
Name of the python file used to handle requests and responses to and from this
search engine.
``shortcut`` :
Code used to execute bang requests (in this case using ``!bi`` or ``?bi``)
``base_url`` : optional
Part of the URL that should be stable accross every request. Can be useful to
use multiple sites using only one engine, or updating the site URL without
touching at the code.
``categories`` : optional
Define in which categories this engine will be active. Most of the time, it is
defined in the code of the engine, but in a few cases it is useful, like when
describing multiple search engine using the same code.
``timeout`` : optional
Timeout of the search with the current search engine. **Be careful, it will
modify the global timeout of searx.**
``api_key`` : optional
In a few cases, using an API needs the use of a secret key. How to obtain them
is described in the file.
``disabled`` : optional
To disable by default the engine, but not deleting it. It will allow the user
to manually activate it in the settings.
``language`` : optional
If you want to use another language for a specific engine, you can define it
by using the full ISO code of language and country, like ``fr_FR``, ``en_US``,
``de_DE``.
``weigth`` : default ``1``
Weighting of the results of this engine.
.. note::
A few more options are possible, but they are pretty specific to some
engines, and so won't be described here.
