LibreY is a fork of LibreX, a framework-less and javascript-free privacy respecting meta search engine, made by hnhx. LibreY changed some features like automatic redirection (now instance fallback), added scrapers for more search engines and various other changes visible in the commit log. The original code is written by hnhx and contributors
If there's an important announcement, we do have a Matrix chatroom which you can join over at #librey:ahwx.org.
You can find a list of instances on any LibreY instance by accessing /instances.php.
Alternatively look at instances.json where the list is generated from.
While the official instances may be more updated and have better uptime, please consider using another person's instances as these are heavily overloaded.
Support the community. ❤️

This section has been moved to clear up some README space.
LibreY gives you text results from Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, Ecosia, Yandex Search and Mojeek. LibreY provides images from Qwant, and torrents from i.e. Ahmia and popular torrent sites. LibreY does this without spying on you.
LibreY doesn't save any type of data about the user, there are no logs (except NGINX logs if the host sets them).
