Plugins Are Back

After an update to SearXNG changed the way built-in plugins work, plugins were disabled for a while due to me not re-configuring them. I finally got around to it, and now built-in plugins work again.

In case you didn't know, SearXNG has a number of built-in plugins:

Calculator

The Calculator plugin can perform simple arithemetic functions: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation.

Hash Values

The Hash Values plugin provides a hash digest for any string. Simply type the hash algorithm (e.g. md5, sha256) followed by the string you want to hash.

Hostnames

The Hostnames plugin replaces certain hostnames with an alternative frontend. This plugin is not currently in use on this instance.

Self-Info

The Self-Info plugin can return information about you, specifically your IP address and your user agent. Use "ip" or "user-agent" as your search query to use this plugin.

Tor Check

The Tor Check plugin checks if your IP address belongs to a Tor exit node.

Unit Converter

The Unit Converter plugin can convert between certain units. For example, querying "1 mi to km" will return the length of one mile in kilometers.
