What’s everyone’s favorite self-hosted metasearch engine? I was using #SearX, but it’s no longer maintained. Thinking of moving over to #SearXNG? Any reason not to? Not sure why NG split off from SearX other than internal disputes (I think).
@michaelthinks searX is more cautious in development whereas SearXNG moves much faster. One notable conflict is SearXNG's inclusion of an "engine stats" feature (can be disabled in config) to show historical reliability of each engine, which searX believes to be anti-privacy (since it shows the general usage pattern of an instance). Anyways, SearXNG is much more actively developed even before searX's abandonment, so you should definitely switch.
