SearXNG is an open source privacy respecting metasearch engine that is really easy to use

SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, SearXNG can be used over Tor for online anonymity.

My video covers how to pronounce SearXNG, what does it do exactly, some demo searches, user preferences, setting it as a browser default search, and some self-hosting answers to problems I faced with the Docker installation.
