I’m not entirely sure, but even the best ones seem to have like a 66% chance of actually working when you need it.
What’s the deal with SearXNG instances being down? Is it resource constraints, or are the big search engines rate limiting them?

Hmm now I want to spin up an instance and add a bunch of logging and traces and stuff.
I might do it over the weekend if I have time.

I’d be curious to know what you learn. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re being rate limited. It seems like the big guys always try to hurt anything that’s not monetizable in any way they can.

I’m also curious, I spent more time figuring with SearXNG than being able to use it, and one of the numerous issues was no server seemed to stay up and they were slow when they were up.

They’ve not been good for like 5 years but I don’t know why.
