    I host my own SearXNG instance, which miiiight be a bit of a bad idea because the anonymity of the crowd disappears but hosting your own services is way too cool to ignore. It’s at search.gregtech.eu in case anyone wants to use it.

      This is nothing like GregTech! Where’s the tedious microcrafting to enjoy before every search?

      Hahha GregSearX I love it!

      I’ve used searX in the past and found it was decent but personally I am going to stick with duckduckgo because it just works better for my needs (especially since I’m on mobile).

      What I don’t like about SearXNG (aside of no favicons/icons I think) is that it doesn’t show the content of what I am looking for in the browser desktop tabs, if I search for “Linux” in the tab it is only shown “SearXNG” instead of what I am searching for… That definitely kills my browsing habits… I hope I am being clear (can’t post a screenshot right now), also unsure if it was the same with mobile browsers.

        You can control that with a setting. In Settings - Privacy, turn on “Query in the page’s title.”

        My instance has a magnifying glass as the favicon.

            There we go, I have the favicons set up. Sorry for the intermittent downtime, I was doing some configuration.

          Thanks for the heads up, always a good thing being proved wrong when asking for features :p
