I was wondering the same thing. I've heard seer-x-ng as well as "Search-X-NG". The "NG" is pronounced like the "ng" in "sing". |

In searX the X stands for the Greek letter Chi / similar to how it is used in TeX .. SearXNG was a fork of searX and the NG stands for "next generation". I don't know how to pronounce such a construct; "the unpronounceable search engine aka SXNG" |

Thanks that seems to agree then more or less with what @virtadpt stated above then for the X. I'll see if SearX is pronounced anywhere too, as it just has the NG appended on the end really. |

NG has a pronunciation if it is preceeded by an 'i'. look at every word that ends in "ing" Sear X NG It was named perfectly with Next Gen addition. |

on https://selfhosted.show/133 they hypothesize it is pronounced like the English word "searching" ("sir" + "ching") |

Also makes sense! The plot thickens. This is probably a project that really could do with a "How do you pronounce it" section in the readme... |

Seeing the project was forked from SearX as a NG alternative, it makes sense to look at the pronunciation of SearX with NG appended to it. Wikipedia has SearX pronounced as 'serks' (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searx) so SearXNG could then logically be 'serks-enn-gee' or 'serks-NG'. This is what @virtadpt already proposed above as well - I'm just fleshing it out. |

I know I might sound stupid but it's important for translation.
