I recently setup SearXNG to take the place of Whoogle (since Google broke it by disabling JS free query results). I am following the same steps I’ve always done in adding a new default search engine.
Navigate to the address bar, right click “Add SearXNG” then go into settings and make it my default. After doing this, rather than using the local IP the instance is running at, Firefox uses https://localhost/search for some reason. I don’t see a way to edit this in the settings section of Firefox. Anyone else experienced this?
Update: After updating the .env file with my IP address and bring docker down/ up, all is working as expected (able to use SearXNG via Caddy using the https://<ip> address)
Benbusby pushed an update for whoogle last night to change the user agent to one that still operates fine, with a few css bugs.
He’s a saint. I saw the commit last night and was waiting for an update. I have SearXNG working now but also left up my Whoogle VM. I’ll try the update and keep using that until the lights go out :')
