    I’ve been hosting searx(ng) for like a decade or more. Rarely does it not find what I’m looking for.

      Can you give me a top level description? Is this really a self hosted search engine?? Like how dependant is this on other indexes somewhere?

        I should have been more accurate. It’s not a search engine per se. It’s a search aggregator. It doesn’t crawl the net, just uses other search engines
