I'm currently running it as a private instance, it is quite stable and fast, faster than my own private instance of Whoogle, although you don't get all the nifty features like instant results and related searches, etc.

This is the first time I heard about self hosted search engines. What is the benefit of using this over something like duck duck go?

Had not heard of it, thanks for sharing

I've run Searxng for a while is there any reason to switch?

Thanks for sharing

Yeah i was between this and whoogle. Went with whoogle as its more actively maintained

I have been using random searXNG. I might as well give it a try.

EDIT: This can really work well with something like privoxy!

Wait, why do we care that searx has 3rd party libraries? Is it leaking data about it's users to them?
