Research direction

Start with the SearXNG provider page linked in the issue and compare its Docker installation instructions with the SearXNG Compose installation guide linked there. Update the outdated setup steps and review the UWSGI and deprecated configuration references against that guide. Done when the page reflects the current installation steps.

What needs improvement?

Outdated or incorrect instructions

What went wrong?

SearXNG Docker installation is heavily outdated. SearXNG Docker repository has been deprecated since March 29, 2026 and needs to be updated with latest installation steps, which is located here. Also, it seems the UWSGI is replaced with Granian, and some configurations are deprecated. Would be grateful if this could be looked at.
