here’s a list of public searx & SearXNG instances
If anyone has good experiences with any of them, definitely share!
SearX instances mysteriously do not have Yandex as an option, even though before this it used to be on most.
I looked through the git, it was removed here: https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/2566
It appears that Yandex would respond to requests with a captcha and they were unable to fix it, so they removed it.
That sounds correct. Yandex is a lot stricter now.
You guys are overreacting. DDG said they would only down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation. It’s normal for search engines to downrank low-quality sites such as SEO spam.
Why was the well documented Western disinformation not ranked down, or why is Fox News the second result when “ukraine” is searched?
Yandex looks incredibly based right now, unironically. They are an insanely amazing search engine provider.
