Hi! I’m trying to find a Google alternative, tried duck duck go but found it very lacking, both in results and interface (not showing the date on the links, for example, that’s useful). Obviously don’t wanna go the bing route. Any recommendations? Also, sorry if this is not the right place to ask, I didn’t know where! Thanks!

      I been trying to configure it myself but I wasn’t able to do it. I change the config file so I can use Brave and Startpage as default search engines but the changes did not applied. I restarted the service and everything.

        We are here to help :)

        I use my own docker-compose.yml. I made modifications, but it is very easy to use. Replace YOUR.URL.HERE with your URL for searx and enter a path for the configuration mounting. Now start the stack and wait a few seconds, while the config files are generated. Now stop the stack and remove the # in the two lines 30 & 31 (CAP DROP / ALL) in the docker-compose.yml for security reasons.

        Make your changes to the configuration files now (backup recommended), before you start the stack again. Start trhe stack and try it out 😊

        My docker-compose.yml is on my Cryptpad. You can make a copy, but the link won´t be valid forever.
