Editor's Overview

searxist is a internet application developed by Linerly, packaged as a single Android APK of version 2026.0 weighing in at 14.32 MB. The package targets Android 4.1+ and above. Below you'll find the publisher's own description, a quick spec sheet, and a short buyer-beware checklist so you know exactly what you're installing before tapping download.

Install Checklist

  1. Only download through the button on this page β€” never from third-party mirrors or shortened links, which are the most common way malware spreads.
  2. File size is a light 14.32 MB, so it installs quickly even on modest connections.
  3. This build is signed by "Linerly" β€” always verify the developer name matches what's listed on the app's official store page before installing an update.
  4. After install, Android may prompt you to allow "Install from unknown sources" β€” approve only this one install, then revoke the permission in Settings > Apps > Special access.
  5. We link directly to the APK file or the publisher's repository; we do not modify the binary. Always run a virus scan after any sideloaded install.

About this app

searxist (pronounced: searchist) is a simple Android app to wrap SearXNG in a WebView with Material You colors, plus some system integrations.

Features

  • πŸŒ™ Material You theming

  • πŸ” System search integration (search bar widget, popup text action)

  • 🌐 Choose from public SearXNG instances or add your own

  • πŸ›‘οΈ Privacy-focused (no unnecessary data collection!)

  • πŸ“± Supports Android 5+


Why would I want to use this?

Unlike other search apps, this app uses SearXNG, which is a free and open-source metasearch engine (learn more at https://docs.searxng.org).

When you use SearXNG, your search queries get proxied before passing them to various search engines. Not only will you get various results, but it also preserves privacy since the searches aren't directly linked to you.

The app provides a list of public instances from https://searx.space for you to use. If you have an instance (either that you host yourself or hosted by someone else), you can add it as well.

If you do use your own instance, make sure other people are also using it to blend in. If the instance is used by only one person, search engines can still link the searches back to you.

The app does not collect any information; it only passes search queries to the SearXNG instance that you use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is searxist free to download?
Yes. The APK file linked from this page is free. The developer may offer in-app purchases once installed, but obtaining the installer itself costs nothing.

What Android version does searxist require?
Android 4.1+ or newer. Installing on older devices may cause crashes or refuse to install.

Is searxist safe to install?
We link to the exact APK published by Linerly. We do not modify the file. Still, as with any sideloaded app, scan it with a reputable antivirus before opening it, and only grant permissions the app genuinely needs.

How do I update searxist?
Install the newer version on top of the old one β€” Android will keep your data. If the signature differs, uninstall first (you may lose local progress).

Why is the app not installing?
Common causes: not enough storage, an older Android version than 4.1+, or a conflicting build already installed. Free up space, check your OS version, and uninstall any previous copy before retrying.
