I've been having errors like:

Error! Engines cannot retrieve results.

qwant (unexpected crash)

Please, try again later or find another searx instance. (Public instances)

Or:

Error! Engines cannot retrieve results.

brave (HTTP error)

Please, try again later or find another searx instance. (Public instances)

On both:

https://searx.sp-codes.de/search

https://searx.info/search

Not sure if it's google blocking searx, or similar...

Edit: https://searx.sp-codes.de working right now, as well as some other instances... Thanks !

https://searx.thegpm.org is working on my end. So at least this instance is working. I'd assume it's those instances or possibly a browser issue

see my prior reply

I'll try other instances as well as the one you pointed out... Thanks !
