When I look at the log file /var/log/uwsgi/app/searxng.log I see entries like this:

Thu Dec 15 05:43:09 2022 - SIGPIPE: writing to a closed pipe/socket/fd (probably the client disconnected) on request /autocompleter?q=pytho (ip 127.0.0.1) !!!
Thu Dec 15 05:43:09 2022 - uwsgi_response_writev_headers_and_body_do(): Broken pipe [core/writer.c line 306] during GET /autocompleter?q=pytho (127.0.0.1)
OSError: write error
Thu Dec 15 05:43:10 2022 - SIGPIPE: writing to a closed pipe/socket/fd (probably the client disconnected) on request /autocompleter?q=python.o (ip 127.0.0.1) !!!

OSError: write error

which shows what I'm typing into my browser's URL bar. It also shows search queries performed by GET if I close the tab while they're in process. How do I turn this off?

How did you installed SearXNG, what distro do you use? / How uWSGI is implemented by distributors varies.

If you use docker see:

searxng/dockerfiles/uwsgi.ini

Lines 30 to 32 in 9e9f57e

     # Disable request logging for privacy  
   disable-logging = true  
   log-5xx = true  

 

If you installed by the scripts (or the "step by step" manual) the logging should already be disabled in the uWSGI setup:

# disable logging for privacy
disable-logging = true

I used the script to install, Debian 11, uwsgi version 2.0.19.1-debian. disable-logging = true is indeed present in /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/searxng.ini. It isn't preventing the error logging, though.

Seems Debian set some different log options other distros don't / from /usr/share/doc/uwsgi/README.Debian.gz

Log of started uWSGI instance is placed at /var/log/uwsgi/app/<confname>.log

I'm not familiar with but there some other config files in Debian worth to know

/etc/default/uwsgi
/usr/share/uwsgi/conf/default.ini

For uWSGI debian uses the LSB init process (this might be changed one day, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833067 )

In the /usr/share/uwsgi/init/specific_daemon I see:

  start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
    --pidfile "$PIDFILE" \
    --exec "$DAEMON" \
      -- --"${INHERITED_OPTION_NAME}" "${INHERITED_CONFIG}" \
         --"${CONFFILE_OPTION_NAME}" "${CONFFILE}" \
         --daemonize "/var/log/uwsgi/${CONFNAMESPACE}/${CONFNAME}.log" \
    1> /dev/null 2>&1 \
      || return 2

Seems debian has no option to stop logging / Sorry that I can't help more but this seems to me a very debian specific question. May you like to ask in a debian forum if you get an answer here.
