SearX is a meta-search engine, which means it isn't truly its own search engine. Still useful and open-source. I'd actually recommend the Bloom people to host their own SearX instance to cover search needs.

You say this like DDG isn't a meta-search engine... everything (for the English language) except for Google and Bing is a meta-search engine.

YaCy is not a meta-search engine.

Both don't cover average use cases.
