What is Sosse?

SOSSE (Selenium Open Source Search Engine) is a search engine and crawler written in Python, distributed under the GNU-AGPLv3 license. It is hosted on both Gitlab and Github site, please use any of them to open feature requests, bug report or merge requests, or open a discussion. SOSSE main features are:

  • 🌍 Browser based crawling: the crawler can use Google Chromium and Selenium to index pages that use Javascript. Requests can also be used for faster crawling
  • 🏖 Low resources requirements: SOSSE is entirely written in Python and uses PostgreSQL for data storage
  • 🖼 Offline browsing: SOSSE can save HTML copy or take screenshots of crawled pages to create archives suitable for offline browsing
  • 🔓 Authentication: the crawlers can submit authentication forms with provided credentials
  • 🔗 Search engines shortcuts: shortcuts search queries can be used to redirect to external search engines (sometime called "bang" searches)
