Make SearXNG default search in Firefox

[slashgob]

Version:
SearXNG 2022.08.19-6f28a69f
Firefox 103.0

How did you install SearXNG?
Installed using Docker image provided by xthursdayx on UNRAID. Self hosted using NGINX as proxy. https://search.slashgob.com/

What happened?
I cannot make SearXNG the default search engine in Firefox. Reading Firefox documentation, I should be able to click on the URL and add SearXNG to the list of search engines if it supports Opensearch

How To Reproduce
navigate to SearXNG search page and click on URL in Firefox

Expected behavior
Clicking on URL should allow you to add SearXNG to the list of search engines in Firefox

Seems Cloudflare adds some crap to your side

Beside this, Cloudflare can read everything (because they MITM your https connection) what is a disaster for the privacy of the user .. don't use Cloudflare!

@return42 are you sure this is not related to #1655 ?

[return42]

No it isn't / #1655 works by example on my instance and on @tiekoetter and @unixfox instances

But the first I get when I open https://search.slashgob.com/ is a CSP violation

EDIT IDK why all guys think they need Cloudflare .. they do MITM and are the culprit of dozens of issues . IMO we should no longer give any support to Cludlfare users.

If you already have a SearxNG in your search engine list on Firefox you can either remove that or change the name of your instance in the /etc/searxng/settings.yml.

Just looked at your site its definitely the title, but its the lack of one.
If you look at the tab it just says the URL search.slashgob.com where for example tiekoetter has a title SearXNG @ searx.tiekoetter.com

So edit /etc/searxng/settings.yml
And make it look something like this:

Please provide a way to accept queries in URL string, so it could by added to any browser by substituting that string /%s.

https ensurer that MITM is not seeing searches. But it would still show in history, for that you can just open searxng and search there.

that's already possible: http://localhost/search?q=%s

Locking the conversation because this bug is definitively fixed.
