   Bought the Kagi $10 Professional plan just to try it out.
   I'm done with SearxNG for the time being as I just don't have the time nor interest to deal with badly interpreted search queries resulting in complete nonsense being returned back, dealing with crappy results from it's "meta" functionality that seems to be broken for months and only one search engine seems to be represented in the results (usually bing or ddg even though I also have brave and qwant enabled) and the frequent nonsense returned by ddg.
   A year ago it worked fine, but it seems that now every search engine is so polluted with shitty results that not even a supposedly "meta" search engine can sieve through the garbage to find something actually useful.

     @prettygood It can never survive the dystopian future where every freely available search engine just gives out crap results.
     It worked good enough for me before, but the last few months were a complete train wreck of bad results, broken updates and almost daily rate limiting from search engines, because SearxNG just gave up and never showed any results even though the query was successful according to the "query report" thingy in the sidebar.

     @phnt yeah, I gave up a long time ago. Happy with Kagi though!
