I've recently started using a self hosted SearXNG instance but I'm still using the search engines enabled by default (google, duckduckgo and qwant). What search engines do you have enabled or which ones do you feel you've gotten the best results with?

Unfortunately DDG blocks piracy related searches and torrents, that's why I don't support them anymore, also they plan on banning "misinformation" whatever that means. I don't like it anymore.

What search engine do you use or if Searxng what engines do you pull from?

[–] 3yiyo3@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Google and DuckDuckGo mostly, I guess if they are pulled from Searxng, then they can't track you and all that.
