    SearXNG has a the same functionality as well for free:

    You can self-host it or use one of the publicly available instances.

      I wasn’t able to find an option to use Lemmy search an several public instances. Do you know an instance that supports this?

        I am self hosting my version so that is where my screenshot came from.

        If I were looking for a public instance to use that has this functionality, I’d look to some of the European hosts as they are less likely to use Reddit as their de facto platform relative to Americans

          Does self-hosting with those extensions require a lot of system resources?

            Not in my experience. I am running a docker container and it is one of +10 containers running on my server which is basically a laptop from a few years ago. So far no issues.

      That’s great! I had no idea you could specifically search for lemmy content in search engines (albeit niche).
