My searx instance is down for a while, and I was forced to use and try all the search engines, all of them are really bad
You can set this as your default search engine and every use it will redirect you to a random searx instance
The bookmark doesn’t seem to work for me on mull browser android. I’ve added the bookmark link as a search engine:
https://searx.neocities.org/#q=%s&category_general=on
But when i use it with “test” for example, without quotes, i’m just landing on the default page. The searched text doesn’t appear in the searchbox.
Maybe i missed something ?
Works for me on mull like that, same url
Why? So that you have a bad experience on all instances, not just on one?
I haven’t used searx often but when I do, I don’t face any issues. What arr your issues with them?
just changed my default to duckduckgo before opening lemmy. i often get “Too Many Requests” message and i had enough.
or this one 👉
Messages from the search engines Error! Engines cannot retrieve results: brave ( timeout ) duckduckgo ( timeout ) google ( timeout ) qwant ( timeout ) wikidata ( timeout ) wikipedia ( timeout ) Sorry! No results were found. You can try to: Refresh the page. Search for another query or select another category (above). Change the search engine used in the preferences: /preferences Switch to another instance: https://searx.spaceDid you try changing the timeout time value? I think the default is 3 seconds…
i just tried with firefox focus and privacy browser. I get the same timeout for https://searx.ox2.fr/search
now that i added https://paulgo.io as default, it works 🤷
You can add the one from the post, and it works really well, at least for me
Note: you add the link as a search engine, and it will give you a random instance every time
neocities needs JavaScript to be enabled :/
Yeah, this is a pain for me too actually
There’s the no-js version, but it doesn’t seem to be automatic, and also there’s a tor only version
