Some servers work, on top of that you can configure them not to use any other search engine than Google, if I want something purely Google and private I would go for Starpage.
Lately I use Brave Search, it seems to me a little better because it is even independent, if possible I would configure a SearXNG server that uses Brave's engine
Some servers may work, but I specifically want to use my own instance. At the moment, I can’t get Google results working on it, and on top of that, Searxist doesn’t allow me to edit instance preferences anyway.
I still use SearXNG with Startpage and Brave, and most of the time that’s enough for my needs. But when I specifically want Google results, I switch to 4get.
I’ll keep an eye on Searxist’s development though. It’s a nice app already, and I’m genuinely curious to see how it evolves
