https://searx.space/ Just pick an instance and you’re good to go.

Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

First three search queries I did had zero results. Seems cool but not enough stuff indexed, I guess.

Perhaps a different instance will work?

They do not index stuff, searx only query’s other search engines and compiles the results

You can go in to settings and select what search engines to pull from. The defaults on that instance may not be sufficient.

I think ddg has some self-baked stuff but also uses bing’s index for some stuff.

Oh, so that’s what’s going on. I noticed DDG added an AI chat service to their search page and I was so ready to blame that. Goes to show PR works on everybody.
