 """Script to run SearXNG from terminal.
 
+  DON'T USE THIS SCRIPT!!
+
+.. danger::
+
+   Be warned, using the ``standalone_searx.py`` won't give you privacy!
+
+   On the contrary, this script behaves like a SearXNG server: your IP is
+   exposed and tracked by all active engines (google, bing, qwant, ... ), with
+   every query!
+
+.. note::
+
+   This is an old and grumpy hack / SearXNG is a Flask application with
+   client/server structure, which can't be turned into a command line tool the
+   way it was done here.

 Getting categories without initiate the engine will only return `['general']`
