- Installation guide can be found in the repository of searx-admin_.
- One of the biggest advantages of searx is being extremely customizable. But at
- first it can be daunting to newcomers. A barrier of taking advantage of this
- feature is our ugly settings file which is sometimes hard to understand and
- edit.
- To make self-hosting searx more accessible a new tool is introduced, called
- ``searx-admin``. It is a web application which is capable of managing your
- instance and manipulating its settings via a web UI. It aims to replace editing
- of ``settings.yml`` for less experienced administrators or people who prefer
- graphical admin interfaces.

- Since ``searx-admin`` acts as a supervisor for searx, we have decided to
- implement it as a standalone tool instead of part of searx. Another reason for
- making it a standalone tool is that the codebase and dependencies of searx
- should not grow because of a fully optional feature, which does not affect
- existing instances.
