This is absolutely brilliant, well done! I’ll play around with it for a while. Was looking for a searx alternative as I keep getting no results and this I’d very timely! Awesome stuff!

SearX has been dead for a long time. SearXNG i s brilliant and has no problems. If you’re having problems, then it’s your server getting blocked. Not a problem with the application.

You’re correct, it’s a searXNG public instance. Wasn’t self hosting but using various public instances with low success. After a few searches the engines stop replying. I’ll be using this self hosted one for now. Really looking promising.
