# n8n-nodes-searxng

[SearXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng) is a privacy-respecting, self-hosted metasearch engine that aggregates results from various search services and databases. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

[n8n](https://n8n.io/) is a [fair-code licensed](https://docs.n8n.io/reference/license/) workflow automation platform.

## Prerequisites
