The slashes after the colon should be forward slashes (/) rather than backslashes (\).

WT...?! How the did I do that?!?!

I mean: I've developed websites... What the was in my head?!

LOL

THANKS for not letting me look like a dumb for too much long

Seems like a cool search engine but wish they didn't go so heavy on the box shadows

Looking at their repos, it seems it’s mostly metasearch. Only crawler I see is specifically for news.

I’d be curious to hear if anyone self hosted this and searx and how they compare.

I self-host SearX, and so can you. Its fairly easy with Docker [1]. However via self-hosting you don't get the anonymity benefits from their upstream (Bing, Yandex, whatever else you enable) which you do get via a public SearX. But with a public SearX instance you don't get the privacy benefits from that instance (ie. all searches can be traced to you).

So I end up using both public and self-hosted SearX, DDG, and Google as last resort.

Yeah, it's already on my bucket list, asking because Qwant looks self-hostable as well :)

Still some privacy benefits in not having physical location tied to searches, and an instance can be shared with friends and family.
