What are your favorite searxng customizations / bangs?
Nothing hugely advanced. I added the NixOS wiki to !software_wikis and I also redirect the old wiki to the new wiki (since the former blocks VPNs). I also use the redirect functionality to redirect twitter/reddit etc links to FOSS frontends.
I’ve also added a bunch of stackexchange sites with their own keywords.
I’ll add you can also use duckduckgo bangs by using !! e.g. !!protondb.
FWIW you can kinda replicate bangs using Firefox using bookmark “keywords” (I think that’s what they’re called). They basically allow you to create a bang for any site using any trigger characters.
Duckduckgo also has bangs, which I consider an essential feature.
Although I use SearXNG instead, since their equivalent is a lot more customisable (although less bangs out of the box).
Yep. I was using ddg but just spun up 2 sear instances for myself. (One on vpn one off)

Yeah, I use those constantly. For web searching, Wikipedia, work ticket lookups, etc.
Are there any that have a top knot or fauxhawk though? Asking for a friend.
