        Open a search app to the public? So their searches come from my IP address? No fucking way, unless I’m missing something.

        My host-fu is weak and the uptime is terrivle right now… Trying to figure out why the container just crashed randomly

        I’m still trying to understand searxng, does it start with nothing and build up its index each time you search? Will your results be rubbish for a while?

          It’s basically a proxy for Google and other engines, think of it as a VPN for your searches.
