Using this Firefox extension, it is possible to use gimmeasearx as a custom Firefox search engine:
- Install the extension
- Run gimmeasearx locally
- Go to the installed extension settings by clicking on its icon in the addons toolbar
- Set 'Name' to 'SearX' (or any name you wish, it doesn't matter)
- Set 'Search URL' to point to gimmeasearx plus '/search?q=%s' (e.g. 'http://127.0.0.1:8080/search?q=%s') You can also add search parameters such as '&grade-v=on' or '&tor=on' to filter instances
- Click 'Add custom search engine' and follow the last steps
- Done!
Note: you should only use gimmeasearx instances which you fully trust, as they could potentially read your search queries with this method.
