Websurfx is an open-source meta search engine written in Rust that aggregates results from multiple search engines while respecting user privacy. It offers a modern, fast, self-hostable alternative to SearXNG with theming and multi-language support.

Use cases

  • self-host a privacy-respecting meta search engine
  • find a modern alternative to searx
  • aggregate search results from multiple engines without tracking
  • run a fast search engine on my own server
  • host a private search instance for my family or team
  • customize the look of my search engine with themes

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, fast Rust-based meta search engine you can self-host
  • privacy from search engine tracking is a priority
  • you want a modern UI with theming and multi-language support

When to avoid

  • you need a full web crawler/indexer rather than aggregated results
  • you need a managed hosted search service
  • you require plugin ecosystems or maturity of SearXNG
