I used this as my primary search engine for a little over 6 months, eventually I switched off because of a bug. I would make a search and it would return no results, then I would re-run the search and it would work. Other than that, I had no major complaints about it.
- ycomment 9y agoWhat sort of advanced search capabilities/tips and tricks do you have?
- tscs37 9y agoI've encountered the same bug which eventually led me to also abandon the platform. Especially when results only consisted of bing or yahoo results on the first try. I'm not quite sure if this has been fixed by now.
- dalf 9y agoThere is a global timeout. If for some reason, all engines doesn't response before the global timeout, there is no result. Usually it's work on the second try because the HTTPS connection are already established (which may be not the case on the first try). One idea to avoid the annoying refresh : if there is no result before the global timeout, searx could wait longer.
- jcalabro 9y agoAppreciate you raising the issue! I will be sure to follow it.
- jcalabro 9y agoAlso, maybe calling it a bug was a little unfair; if it is a timeout, it seems to be working as expected. We'll see. Either way, I really liked it while I was using it, hopefully it gets resolved! Good work SearX contributors! :)
