Select *Administrator controls* then *Add/remove apps*. From there you can use cursor keys, space and enter keys to select *searx*.
Once it has installed go to *About* on the *Administrator control panel* and look for *searx*. Take a note of the onion address, and you can then enter that into a Tor compatible browser. Go to *Passwords* on the *Administrator control panel* and select *searx*. This will give you the login password for your search site, and it prevents millions of random internet users from using your site as their default search engine and ruining the performance of your system.

* Make it your default search
If you are using a Tor browser or Firefox then click on the magnifying glass icon next to the search box and you can then add your metasearch site. A small icon will appear called "/Freedombone Metasearch/" and you can then right click on it and make it the default search.
* Enabling password login
It's possible that you might not want just anyone on the interwebs to be able to use your metasearch engine. Even with the onion routing this might carry some legal risk or make you a target for denial-of-service attempts (although Tor's rate limits and the firewall will give you some defense against that).
To enable password login go to the *Administrator control panel* then *App settings* then select *searx* and *Enable login*. If you select "yes" then the password will be displayed.
* Customization
It's also possible to customise the background image if you go to *App settings* then select *searx*.
