+A redis DB can be connected by an URL, in :py:obj:`searx.shared.redisdb` you
+will find a description to test your redis connection in SerXNG. When using
+sockets, don't forget to check the access rights on the socket::
+
+ ls -la /usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock
+ srwxrwx--- 1 searxng-redis searxng-redis ... /usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock

+In this example read/write access is given to the *searxng-redis* group. To get
+access rights to redis instance (the socket), your SearXNG (or even your
+developer) account needs to be added to the *searxng-redis* group.
