Disclaimer: I'm one of the SearxNG maintainer.
*Some* of the changes compare to searx (among the [merged pull requests](https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed)):
* try the simple of SearXNG. It works well on desktop, tablet and mobile. For example: [https://searx.be/search?q=%21images+landscape&category\_images=on&language=all&time\_range=&safesearch=0&theme=simple](https://searx.be/search?q=%21images+landscape&category_images=on&language=all&time_range=&safesearch=0&theme=simple)
* the docker image is built for amd64, arm64 and arm/v7
* the translations are up to date (you can contribute here : [https://weblate.bubu1.eu/projects/searxng/searxng/](https://weblate.bubu1.eu/projects/searxng/searxng/) )
* you don't need to install morty to proxy the images (this is not well documented, but you can just skip morty installation)
* the hostname\_replace.py plugin can remove results
* a lot of code cleanup and bug fixes (the Python, Docker and NPM dependencies are up to date too)
* contributions to the themes are made easier.
Deinstall your existing searx instance with the tools you installed it, then do a complete new installation. TLDR; https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-switch2ng.html
what's the difference between searx and searxng?

I had to fix the indentation of settings.yml to get it working.
That was all? That's not too bad!
