Google’s results have been getting worse over time, but it seems like the last couple years, they’ve taken a steep nose-dive, completely overrun with crappy content farming.
I’ve mitigated a lot of that by doing searches for any kind of product comparison or technical question with “site:reddit.com”, but now with the possibility that that trick will become less useful over time as well…?
Yeah. What search engines are other tech folks using?
Thanks for the tip! Just set up my docker container. How do you configure the hostname replacements? In the UI Preferences menu, there’s just a toggle switch for “Hostname Replace”, but nowhere to input a list of names.
Not sure if you can see this since beehaw defederated us, but just add/edit the following in your settings.yml file in the searxng folder. The following redirects only reddit & twitter:
enabled_plugins: - 'Hostname replace' hostname_replace: # '(.*\.)?youtube\.com$': 'invidious.example.com' # '(.*\.)?youtu\.be$': 'invidious.example.com' # '(.*\.)?youtube-noocookie\.com$': 'yotter.example.com' '(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'teddit.net' '(.*\.)?redd\.it$': 'teddit.net' '(www\.)?twitter\.com$': 'nitter.net' # # to remove matching host names from result list, set value to false # 'spam\.example\.com': false '(.*\.)?pinterest\.com': false '(.*\.)?instagram\.com': false
