whoogle-search VS searxng

Google Search → Whoogle

Google Search → Whoogle

I deployed whoogle search at home. For laptops it is rather easy to define it as the default search for alfred and the respective browser, but for iOS devices I have not found a way (except some rather clunky and intrusive extensions) to change the default search engine beyond what Apple tells you. Is there a way to to this via pfSense or pihole? So whenever someone searches in the address bar in safari on iOS that pfSense redirects that search to the whoogle URL?

I host an instance of Whoogle Search that I use and never looked back. It's like someone brought Google back to the golden age. No (direct) tracking, no ads, complete control over the results.

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.
