Self hosting searxng was the best decision I ever made for search engines. Just point it to a bunch of different engines of my choice and use it. I seriously no longer ever find myself with the old habit of "ugh okay maybe I'll get better results in [insert other engines] this time"... Probably cause it's using them all.
I like the hostnames plugin too. I can rewrite URLs (for example x to xcancel) and also give higher or lower priority to certain domains (or remove them completely.)
