I tried searx for a while but, at least with the instance I used, the results were awful quality and there were a lot of reliability issues. Do you have an instance recommendation?

I don't have any instance recommendations as I use a variety of instances categorized as vanilla

In the HTML input field:

  • search V for Vanilla instance: all static files comes from the SearXNG git repository.

Afterwards I go into the settings of the chosen instance and make personalized customizations. Once you're done you can save your modifications by copying the:

Search URL of the currently saved preferences

  • which is under the COOKIES Tab

By pasting that link into your Add Search Engine section of your browser of choice, you'll be able to directly search using SearXNG!


Hope this helps improve your searching!๐Ÿค—

I use https://search.bus-hit.me/ but honestly searxng is best used with personalised settings.
