- backscratches 11mo agoSubmit a query to a random instance via https://searx.neocities.org https://searx.neocities.org (which is set as my homepage).
- BrenBarn 11mo agoThis has the same problem that most public searxng instances seem to have nowadays, which is that they don't work. Either you just get an error about rate limiting or you get results totally unrelated to your search. I just tried a couple random searches about geographical locations (in English) and got back a bunch of results in Chinese.
- mac-attack 11mo agoMullvad Leta was an engine of choice within SearXNG for my self-hosted instance. Disappointed to see it go.
- OhioMan2943 11mo agoi love searx but i wish it could include yandex as well- then it would be perfect- dumb wars
- BrenBarn 11mo agoI had been using baresearch.org (a searxng instance) but it's recently become unusable, apparently due to the engines it aggregates cracking down on such things. I tried some other instances but they also don't work. It's a bummer because I thought searxng was pretty great for the last year or two.
- holysoles 11mo agoI've been selfhosting my own to avoid this issue. Once in awhile a search provider will be unavailable but its pretty consistent in pulling in the major ones. It doesnt require many resource and would be easy enough to run it on docker compose alongside a valkey/redis instance. I have mine on k8s but i dont think there is a helm chart easily found.
