SearxNG instances are not working as well these days and I want something more reliable. I will just pay a subscription. Swiss cows is pushing subscriptions and I’m good with paying. Never tried Kagi.

    OP probably isn’t self-hosting it. I haven’t got around to self-hosting it either and:

    • a majority of instances no longer include Google
    • many instances return absolutely bogus results
    • the ones that return reasonable results have a 50% chance of getting ‘Suspended: timeout’

    The rate-limiting has hit once-reliable instances really hard in the past few months.

      Past few months? I’ve tried several instances since over a year ago and absolutely never did I get decent results, unfortunately. They always get rate limited by Google and/or some other error occurs.
