The app itself is great, but it doesnโt currently allow access to instance settings (like selecting which search engines to use). Additionally, SearXNG has been struggling to return Google results lately, which really limits its usefulness at the moment. For now, Iโve found 4get to be a better alternative.
I truly miss the SearXNG of a few months ago, before Google broke it. It was such a fantastic tool, and I hope it can regain its former glory soon.
Mmm, I really didn't know 4get, I thought it was another generic search engine like Metagear, I'll be trying it for a while, I like that you can switch between different search engines, although the design is a bit.... Bizarre haha
