Ive heard about it what is it please explain.
Edit: seems it nolonger maintaned but found the searxng fork been running it a while now works great no complaints from me.
More or less SearX is an open source meta-search engine that can be customized and configured to look through a wide array of existing search engines.
Anybody can run a SearX instance, and many do, with different backend configuration, and sometimes a bit of a customized front end.
Https://searx.space has an updated and detailed list of these instances.
Can i just host it on localhost with a daemon cos my server is at home and running at possibly the worse internet speeds in history.
You can. That is how I use it.
Well thank you kind lemmyer. You have convinced me. Been on duckduck go for a while but when times get desperate i go to google and its making less and less helpfull results.
