Bug#808564: RFP: searx -- privacy-respecting, hackable metasearch engine



Many thanks, this is wonderful! It took me only some minutes
with your package and the README.Debian to get searx running.

I suggest, to upload searx 0.10 with Python 2 to unstable and
just follow upstream when they move to Python 3. Having searx
early in the release cycle will help getting a well-tested
package for buster. This involves only a short delay in NEW
for the new binary package, when the change is done.

I started with some of the stuff (robotframework, robotsuite),
but got stuck over some JS library issues. At some point, I
will resume packaging this.

Btw. I get some (non-fatal) exceptions:
jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'str object' has no attribute 'decode'

But this might be because I run searx on stable with only the
absolutely necessary packages from testing (babel stuff). Not a
supported configuration, of course :~)
