Same, run my own instance and only rarely need to go to Google for localized results.
Right now, Google, DDG, and Bing. That combo is "good enough". I also have random issues with other ones timing out or other errors.
Don't DDG and Bing have basically the same results or has that changed?
I honestly don't recall. I've used Searx-NG for a few years now and only notice that there's a lot of overlap in the results among all 3 I have enabled.
Startpage.com for more than 4 years know I guess.
Surprised so few people use Yacy.
I know what it is but I thought its results weren't that good. I haven't actually used it myself but that's what I heard.
