I'm planing on self hosting a Searx instance. But right now I'm very happy with DuckDuckGo. I find I get less biased results and a lot of the time I prefer it's results to google. And for the odd time I want an image and DDG isn't giving me what I want I use bing, which is probably the best search engine for images from my experience.
Unfortunately DDG blocks piracy related searches and torrents, that's why I don't support them anymore, also they plan on banning "misinformation" whatever that means. I don't like it anymore.
Good to know thank you
What search engine do you use or if Searxng what engines do you pull from?
Google and DuckDuckGo mostly, I guess if they are pulled from Searxng, then they can't track you and all that.
