       A brief recap on search engines:- Google has accurate results, it's really fast, but it tracks you very effectively- DuckDuckGo has decent results, while not always accurate (I'd say it gets the answer 60% of the time). It doesn't track you, but it's a bit slower.- Startpage has "Google" results, but it's reeeeally slow, 3 or more seconds to get an answer!- Ecosia is Bing and lets Bing track you- Bing/Yahoo/ are not good enough on both privacy and resultsSo, which one should I use?

       Oh and of course, searX just doesn't work 70% of the time. I don't understand how people can use it, maybe it's just me being unlucky?

       @marcosg self hosted searx. Gets around the rate limiting issues you have with the public instances.
