Soo, i was searching for a SearXNG alternative since it’s an hassle to customize the UI, it’s also slow and i didn’t found much to be honest

The only things i found is Websurfx which look like vibecoded (at least, the readme look like it was wrote by a clanker and in the contributions there is an AI agent)

Do anyone have any suggestion?

Edit: i’d like to not spend money on a search engine tbh…that’s why i’d like to self-host or use a public instance

Edit 2: i found out about those:

https://github.com/Ahwxorg/LibreY (kinda dead tbh)

https://git.bwaaa.monster/omnisearch (works but some engines don’t)

Edit 3: parentesis

    I tried omnisearch (in the links) too but 3 out of the 4 engines didn’t work out of the box. Otherwise it looked good.

    LibreY seems to be unmaintained.

    So this leaves 4get. While it worked, it seemed to only search one engine at a time, which I didn’t like. This might also be a configuration error on my part.

      LibreY looks like it hasn’t been mantained for 3 weeks, i’d wait a little more to see if they mantain it, heck, they have a matrix room so i may just ask in there, i’il edit the comment if they answer

      Edit: the room is dead…i sent 'em an E-Mail so let’s wait ig

        Yeah the last commit is fron 3 weeks ago, but if you look at the commit history, it has been really sparse, and mostly consists of updating the public instances list.

          Oh damn, i didn’t check that, idk why i didn’t thought of it, that’s very sad since LibreY looked promising

          We may need LibreZ XD
