Even calling it a "metasearch engine" is a bit misleading, since Searx/SearxNG is just a wrapper/aggregator that calls other 'real' search engines, so it's not an engine itself, not in the same sense of the word. And those other engines of course will not be too happy about having their resources used while all their ads get hidden in this way, so they will try to detect if you're doing this and block you, after which your Searx/SearxNG will stop working, or end up returning way fewer results until it becomes useless.
Runs smooth on my selfhosted server. Has many features.
So basically, I see a bunch of "instances" which are like a bunch of search engines, and apparently you can make your own. I compared 2 instances and they seemed the same except one displayed icons and the other didn't. There are CSS differences. As with anything I've found other than Google, there won't be up-to-the-minute news.
A fork of a great search engine
Free and open source.
Favicons of the result links are missing :/
