@hyperfocal @resist1984 @ademalsasa @Tommy I've heard good things about "searx", though I used it for a few days and certain search terms would give *zero* results while ddg had plenty. Very strange.

Hmm.. that's interesting.
Were you using https://searx.info/
or https://searx.xyz/ ?
If you go to https://searx.me/ , you would have to find a instance, just like Mastodon, and maybe that instance didn't have anything.
Stay Safe!
@Tommy
Just found this on wikipedia about google blocking searx.me:
"Another reason to use different searx instances, and/or to run one's own, is that as of 2019, Google has begun to block some instances, including some of the IP addresses used by searx.me (former instance run by the developer), from querying it, resulting in a "google (unexpected crash: CAPTCHA required)" error.[39] "
