SearXNG

Integrations › SearXNG

Keenable ships as a core SearXNG engine (searx/engines/keenable.py). Like every newly added engine it is registered disabled by default, per SearXNG convention, so the instance operator enables it explicitly. SearXNG is a rolling release — the engine lands in the next master docker build.

Setup

1. 1No separate install

   Keenable ships as a built-in search engine in SearXNG (merged upstream) — there is no separate package to install.

2. 2Enable it in settings.yml

   Upstream registers the engine as disabled: true, inactive: true (the convention for a new engine), so the operator turns it on:

   yamlCopy

   engines:
     - name: keenable
       engine: keenable
       shortcut: keen
       inactive: false
       disabled: false
       # api_key: keen_...      # optional, lifts the rate limit
       # keenable_mode: pro    # search mode, defaults to pro

3. 3Search

   Restart the instance, then use the !keen bang or select Keenable in the engine list.

Keyless by default; add an api_key to the engine settings to lift the rate limits.
