I think I need to run my own Searx
Apparently I'm not the only one annoyed by ads AI-generated content, SEO spam, and intrusive tracking on search engines. I just want to say that in 2025, a well-configured instance of SearXNG is a lifesaver. You can start by experimenting with a public instance like https://searx.bndkt.io/ and later run your own for ultimate customisability and privacy (docs at: https://docs.searxng.org/ ).

Go for it. Definitely worth it. 5 mins docker setup (and a lifetime of obsessive tweaks if you are anything like me 🤣).
Docker image on GitHub?
Yeah (https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker )
or Dockerhub ( https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-docker.html )
