Not sure if this is the right community, but I didn't see a general one. What search engine do you use? Besides Google increasingly spying on its users, the quality of its search results seems to have gotten significantly worse over the last decade. What search engine(s) do you use?

I use my own self hosted SearXNG.

Why the -ng-?

It's a better fork of SearX

Also SearX is no longer maintained https://github.com/searx/searx/commit/276ffd3f01cdd823f75676c51231fad4040059d3#diff-7b3ed02bc73dc06b7db906cf97aa91dec2b2eb21f2d92bc5caa761df5bbc168fR3

Same, it's super simple with Docker and you don't even need to fiddle with ports or anything. I should probably try running it at my work PC now that I think of it.. Anyway, duckduckgo has been good to me for all these years.

How much ram does the container use on average?

[–] anzo 1 points 6 months ago

Around 100 megas, iirc. Try it out!

I run a "public" instance with basic auth so I can use it from anywhere (phone, work). I've made my instance my default search engine everywhere. (I know basic auth is not the most secure but I wouldn't even really care it other people used my instance; I just don't want it hammered.)
