There was a problem hiding this comment.
So, a link to searxng/searx/settings.yml has been added to give users an idea of the config options that are available.

That is not 100% correct .. the /etc/searxng/settings.yml file is a use_default_settings=True
searxng-docker/searxng/settings.yml
Lines 1 to 2 in 21bca5e
What this means is documented at https://docs.searxng.org/admin/settings/settings.html#settings-use-default-settings
And all other settings are documented here: https://docs.searxng.org/admin/settings/index.html
We should encourage the instance admins to read the docs, too often we have tickets just because someone hasn't read the doc.

The settings.yml file is minimal and gives no indication of possible configuration options.

Thank you to the searxng community for all the hard work that has gone into this project.
