searx-instances VS searxng

I still recommend a Searx instance over google. Independently run search engines using an open-source software that aggregate searches over multiple engines, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, DDG, Ecosia, and many many more.

This kind of thing is why I use searx

I recommend hopping on public SearxNG instances. https://searx.space/

This was my default search in Safari, the "new tab opens with" way.

Now it shows "Cloud provider terminated all my servers, service is down for the moment. Working on it. Sorry. Please use other instances on https://searx.space"

Assuming you don't publicly list this instance on searx.space, you should be fine with a small vps. I don't see this thing having more than a dozen concurrent users so I wouldn't bother with a vps larger than 2gb of ram and 2 cpu . This should cost less than 10-20 bucks a month on vultr or digitalocean. Then you just need a domain, which can be as little as like 8 bucks a year depends on where you get it. So I'd estimate it would cost 80-120 a year to run.

If anyone is interested in getting around search related privacy issues, look into a public SearXNG instance. It doesn't mitigate all privacy concerns but does a lot to move in that direction.

Try SearXNG (https://searx.space/)

If you want to try it out before creating your own, check out https://searx.space/

searx.tiekoetter.com

The solution you need is SearxNG. Here's one public instace that you can use to look at Google's search results.

Initially I was using https://searx.tiekoetter.com which works perfect on mobile but google seems to have removed results from it now

This one caught my eye, it has a lot of redirect for private front-ends, but like I said, it's hosted by the same person too.

Search engines for the clearnet: SearX (Instance example: https://searx.tiekoetter.com), Startpage.

i use a wikipedia mirror cause i didnt bother changing my search engine ( https://searx.tiekoetter.com ) to not redirect there. its not more reliable (in fact its less) because it fetches the data from wikipiedia each time, but its theoretically more private. i dont care about that though im just lazy.

You can use Duck Duck go or Startpage if you want, I use Searx public instances (e.g. https://searx.be/search ; https://searx.tiekoetter.com/ ; https://search.sapti.me/search). All public instances can be found here.

This instance I personally use but you must select fast engines.
