Some servers may work, but I specifically want to use my own instance. At the moment, I can’t get Google results working on it, and on top of that, Searxist doesn’t allow me to edit instance preferences anyway.

I still use SearXNG with Startpage and Brave, and most of the time that’s enough for my needs. But when I specifically want Google results, I switch to 4get.

I’ll keep an eye on Searxist’s development though. It’s a nice app already, and I’m genuinely curious to see how it evolves
