Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to install searxng (on debian). I already have a running instance of searx (not searxng).
The documentation says how to install from scratch, or how to upgrade searxng. Assuming a simple recipe is possible, a few lines explaining how to convert an existing searx instance to use searxng instead would be reassuring and helpful.

Describe the solution you'd like

A step by step guide in the documentation of how to change a running searx installation into a running searxng installation

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could just try what might work, but that risks leaving me with a broken / botched installation.

Additional context

I guess there are plenty of others with the same request.

How did you installed searx ? the installation scripts ? docker ? the debian package ?

Did you customized your instance ?

Personally, I used the scripts, but I suppose whichever method one used, some documentation would be helpful.

I edited the configuration files, but made no other customisation.

@return42 when the code is not modified, can you confirm this procedure:

I'm not sure about /etc/searx/settings.yml ?
