The thing with SearXNG is that it will search in multiple search engines in parallel and then aggregate the results. If the same result appears in all of the queries, it’ll be weighted more than one that appears in only one of the results.
This way you get very neutral overall results compared to the biased ones Google usually delivers.
Also, you can easily define custom search engines, so you could make it search on your favourite website as well.
yeah, I'm well aware of these features. Just didn't get the benefit of running a private instance vs. using a trusted public instance, which would hide my IP from the search engines.
Configure the TOR Duckduckgo and Brave search engines and only search over TOR. Switch circuits every x hours.
that's gonna make it very slow tho...
