# Goosle
|
|
A fast, privacy oriented meta search engine that just works.
|
|
Kept simple so everyone can use it and to make sure it works on most (basic) webservers.
|
|
|
|
Host for yourself and friends, with a access hash key. Or set up a public search website.
|
|
|
|
After-all, finding things should be easy and not turn into a chore.

|
|
## Requirements
|
|
Any basic webserver/webhosting package with PHP7.4 or newer.
|
|
Tested to work on Apache with PHP8.2.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
1. Unzip the download.
|
|
2. Edit the config.php file with your preferences.
|
|
3. Upload all files to your webserver, for example to the root folder of a subdomain (eg. search.example.com) or a sub-folder on your main site (eg. example.com/search/)
|
|
4. Rename goosle.htaccess to .htaccess
|
|
5. Load the site in your browser. If you've enabled the access hash add ?a=YOURHASH to the url.
|
|
6. Let me know where you installed Goosle :-)
|
|
|
|
### Notes:
|
|
- The .htaccess file has a redirect to force HTTPS as well as browser caching instructions ready to go.
|
|
- The robots.txt has a rule to prevent all crawlers from crawling Goosle. But keep in mind that not every crawler obeys this file.
|
|
- The access hash is NOT meant as a super secure measure and only works for surface level prying eyes.
|
|
|
|
Have fun finding things!

## Disclaimer
|
|
Goosle started as a fork of LibreY, and ended up as a rewrite and something different completely. While the code structure remains largely the same, most functions have been rewritten or altered to work as I need it to.
|
|
Search results take design cues from DuckDuckGo and the torrent search has been modified to show more useful information where possible.
|
|
Goosle does not index, store or distribute torrent files. If you like, or found a use for, what you downloaded, you should probably buy a legal copy of it.
|
|
|
|
THe name Goosle is my last name with an L added in. Translate it from Dutch. Not in any way a derivation of Google and DuckDuckGo combined :wink:.

## Support
|
|
Goosle comes with limited support. You can post your questions on Github or on my support forum on [ajdg.solutions](https://ajdg.solutions/support/).
