My solution to this was to run my own private instance. It's very easy with docker-compose.
Doesn't this defeat the privacy of searx because it's coming from a single IP and a single user?
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.
Can that be done on a mobile device?
You could in theory but hosting it on dedicated hardware will be a much better experience.
