While we're on the topic of search engines, both @Disabled@burggit.moe and I run our own Searx instances. Mine is https://searx.burger.rodeo his is https://searx.shota.services
If you're considering using one of these, here are the differences. If you want to get a standard search experience, I suggest using Burger's, his has a very standard config, probably closer to what most people are looking for.
Whereas my search engine is tailored to specifically favor lesser known smaller search engines like Wiby which have a high likelihood of having more niche sites show up which may or may not be relevant to your search result. You usually find what you're looking for, but there's definitely more of an old-school type feel when it comes to the results. Definitely not for everyone.
Both our search engines do not log searches, so nobody (not even us) can see what you're searching for, regardless of which one you pick. (Again, if you're deciding between the two.)
Shit, Disa, Disabled. I hadn't connected the dots. Sometimes I saw one, sometimes the other. 😐
We are one and the same.
I want to make one! Searx is cool. Sadly no time to play.
