Thanks, I definitely prefer this alternative. How does searxng work in general?
It is a meta-search engine so it takes results from other search engines and shows the results. Usually you can decide which search engines to use in preferences. You can host it yourself or find an online instance to use.

It seems really great actually. Thanks for the rec. Might selfhost it. But I also get the argument of Kagi if one doesn't want to rely on the search results of Google/Bing/DDG or whatever. Even if I definitely prefer FOSS.
Kagi doesn't really have its own index either. It mainly relies on other search engines as well and the indexes that are its own that focus on small web stuff is better done by marginalia.nu which is also open source.
