  SearXNG

  Always wondered how the fuck I’m supposed to say that.

  Seeks’nn’jnn?
  Sur X N G?
  Search engine?

    Searching. XNG makes the “Ching” sound in some languages.

    So…I guess it kinda seems like a .gif vs .gif sorta situation, we’ll never come to a consensus, there will forever be disparate camps chuckling under their breath at all the “idiots” that can’t even pronounce SearXNG right…the fools…

    Well, guess I’ll sleep on it and join a camp some day… le sigh

    I’ve never thought about it until now, so thanks for that…

    I’ve said it in my head as “Seer” and then the letters X N G. I didn’t even CONSIDER part of it is supposed to sound like “search”…

      Same here. XNG isn’t pronouncable in english, so it will always be Seer X N G for me

    Probably the last one, I guess it’s kinda like nginx
