I'm running searxng on docker locally, and set that as my search engine on Firefox. It's been awesome! I will probably start a blog and post instructions... Adding the custom search engine into about:config was kinda difficult. Other web browsers should be easier.. (e.g. Vivaldi)
You can add search engines to Firefox in the address and search bar.
Go to the site you want to add, click the address bar for the drop down to show, then there will be an icon for that site with a green plus to add it.
If you use the search box it's even easier. If you're on the site the icon on the left will have the green plus symbol for it.
Yup. That smart recognition didn't play for me on 127.0.0.1:8080
There's a Firefox addon called "Add custom search engine" which will allow you to add a local instance of searx.
You'll want to give it the full search query, with %s where the search string goes. for you, it'll be something like:
