sear.c for Debian
sear.c is used as a lightweight replacement for SearX that proxies and caches
search results from the Google web search engine. The main advantages over
SearX are speed and simplicity.
* run the daemon - it starts listening on HTTP port 7327 (remember it by
picturing phone keyboard buttons with letters SEAR (; )
* optional: create a reverse proxy for HTTPS
* navigate to http://localhost:7327 and do a couple of searches to see if
everything works
* the horseshoe button redirects directly to the first result without wasting
time on the results page. use if you feel lucky. (BP)
* check logs by navigating to /logs.html
It's not recommended to run a public instance of sear.c yet, as google likes
to prevent spam by using a captcha.
It's expected that I'll write a simple captcha forwarder so that users of public
instances will solve captchas that are presented and keep the instance healthy.
Currently it's recommended to run private instances, protected by a password
using a reverse HTTP proxy.
systemd users can start with service sear.c start
