# searpl

searpl is a small php search engine with the following features:

- [x] robot.txt compliant
- [x] sqlite, so theres no need to run some fancy database daemon
- [x] javascript-free
- [ ] it uses a cloudflare cdn for the search button icon,
     but you can block it without impacting much.
- [x] read-only database, nothing is written except with the shell
