Is there a future where Hister takes on the functions of SearXNG? I.E. new content is discovered through APIs but local or previous content is prioritized?

Currently it is not planned. Hister guarantees that non of your data/query/metadata leaves the service if you use it. As I see, this is a more valuable and unique feature than having an integrated metasearch. There are already great metasearch solutions and Hister provides an easy fallback to search providers, so in my opinion this direction would be more of a sacrifice than an improvement.

Oh I didnt realize there was a fallback option, that’s great.
