How do I log in to SearXNG?

1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "SearXNG is ready". The page refreshes itself.
3. Click Open app.
4. Enter the details from the Login and Password rows. The login is yonetici, which is Turkish for "admin". The browser asks for these in a pop-up.
5. To make it your browser's default search engine, use the form https://your-address/search?q=%s.

Further down the page, the Username row and the Password row below it are for SSH. Don't use them to log in to SearXNG.

Good to know

• An open search engine attracts bot traffic, so it is protected by a login password.
• Results are gathered from other search engines. /search?q=example&format=json returns JSON for automations.
• The site opens over HTTPS on a free sslip.io address based on your IP. If a certificate can't be issued, it opens over http:// instead. Only ports 80, 443 and 22 (for SSH) are open to the outside.

To use your own domain, see this article.
