SearxNG instances are not working as well these days and I want something more reliable. I will just pay a subscription. Swiss cows is pushing subscriptions and I’m good with paying. Never tried Kagi.

Out of curiosity, what issues are you having with SearXNG? I’m self hosting and recently have noticed a lot of timeouts across many of the engines I have enabled. Just wondering if you’re having similar experience

It was decent until a few months ago. Now it’s Chinese language, or just useless garbage that tangentially relates to a word in my search.

OP probably isn’t self-hosting it. I haven’t got around to self-hosting it either and:

  • a majority of instances no longer include Google
  • many instances return absolutely bogus results
  • the ones that return reasonable results have a 50% chance of getting ‘Suspended: timeout’

The rate-limiting has hit once-reliable instances really hard in the past few months.
