I’ve been having errors like:

Error! Engines cannot retrieve results.

qwant (unexpected crash)

Please, try again later or find another searx instance. (Public instances)

Or:

Error! Engines cannot retrieve results.

brave (HTTP error)

Please, try again later or find another searx instance. (Public instances)

On both:

https://searx.sp-codes.de/search

https://searx.info/search

Not sure if it’s google blocking searx, or similar…

Edit: https://searx.sp-codes.de working right now, as well as some other instances… Thanks !

the instance i’m using is working fine with google. the instances you were using are probably rate limited by the search engines.

I tried 3 other ones, *.ru, *.snopyta, *.xyz, *.win (a couple I don’t remember are even no longer reachable). I’ll see later. I’ve be using 1st *.info, then *.snopyta and now more often *.sp-codes.de, and so far so good, until now…
