About this app

Get Google search results, but without any ads, javascript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile. - No ads or sponsored content - No JavaScript* - No cookies** - No tracking/linking of your personal IP address*** - No AMP links - No URL tracking tags (i.e. utm=%s) - No referrer header - Tor and HTTP/SOCKS proxy support - Autocomplete/search suggestions - POST request search and suggestion queries (when possible) - View images at full res without site redirect (currently mobile only) - Light/Dark/System theme modes (with support for custom CSS theming) - Randomly generated User Agent - Easy to install/deploy - DDG-style bang (i.e. !<tag> <query>) searches - Optional location-based searching (i.e. results near <city>) - Optional NoJS mode to view search results in a separate window with JavaScript blocked *No third party JavaScript. Whoogle can be used with JavaScript disabled, but if enabled, uses JavaScript for things like presenting search suggestions. **No third party cookies. Whoogle uses server side cookies (sessions) to store non-sensitive configuration settings such as theme, language, etc. Just like with JavaScript, cookies can be disabled and not affect Whoogle's search functionality. ***If deployed to a remote server, or configured to send requests through a VPN, Tor, proxy, etc.

What's newVersion 0.8.4

Minor update: - Site favicons are now fetched and displayed for each search result - Audio tags are now interpreted correctly - Primarily found in word definition cards in the results view - POST requests now redirected as encrypted GET requests - This allows navigating back from a result website to the Whoogle search result page without having to confirm form resubmission - The "GET-only searches" config is still available for anyone who still prefers it - URLs in element and window endpoints are now validated - Fixes a potential vulnerability where an element or window endpoint could retrieve file contents from a service hosted on another port - Valid HTML in result text content is now sanitized to prevent parsing issues Full release notes are found at https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/releases/tag/v0.8.4
