I found it oddly good at finding hidden pages containing the exact terms I was looking for but horrible at more general stuff

I have used searxng for about a year now, I have had quite a few personal gripes
What gripes have you had? Curious. Maybe something I’ve overlooked.

I keep getting results in different languages, a lot of my engines get rejected, it’s quite heavy and building extensions for it is fairly complex. They also recently restructured their own codebase, which means most of my customisation didn’t work anymore, which is when I decided to build my own instead of re-making all the customisations from scratch.
This is again very personal issues and specific to my use case frankly, and it could be that I wasn’t doing customisations right, but the way my brain works is to make something from scratch and learn the ins and out of it, so I just went for it.
I guess it also is styled more to my linking (plus theming is very extensive) and I wanted to create something that slots things in if wanted (see tmdb above results and rss on the homepage)
