The instances that give the best results seem to also get throttled pretty often on the source search engines, to the point of near uselessness.
Thinking of hosting my own, but the maintenance seems pretty involved according to the docs.
What’s your experience been like?
Edit: all right y’all, thanks for the feedback. I’m going to spin up an instance.


The only annoyance I’ve had with it is searches will sometimes default to another language, even though I set the language to only return English results.
Also, I’ve found that the image/map search capabilities are less performant than googles.
But I still use it because the search results are so clean and no-frills.
