I want to use SearxNG as my daily driver, and I added three instances to my browser’s search engines list. However, I find that all three are down whenever I try to use it, and I inevitably have to look at the list of instances and click the top one just to perform one search. Is there a way to “auto-route” my search through the most reliable instance or something?

    Does that help with the engine connection errors?

      I self-host my own SearXNG instance and haven’t had any errors like that in the ~6 months it’s been running. It’s just anecdotal evidence, but I would imagine any such low-traffic instance would be able to avoid the blocking and other issues that high-traffic instances run into.

        I’ve never thought of it like that. Another service for the homelab to run.

      I still have some issues with Bing from time to time but as far as I can tell that’s because they are changing stuff and the SearXNG devs just need to push a fix.

        I believe Bing is making changes to accomodate Chat GPT
