Self hosted search options (self.homelab)

For years, I have been using Whoogle for my self-hosted searches. It's been great, but recently there were some upstream changes that seem to have broken it.

I'm guessing that SearXng will soon follow (based on the assumption that they too are using the JS free results Google used to provide).

Does anyone have any self-hosted search options that still work? I hear Kagi is good for paid/ non-self hosted options, but just curious what you all are using.

Gave it a shot, it's been working pretty well so far. Only issue is that Firefox seems to want to use https://localhost instead of the IP address when I make it a default search engine.

Yeah, to fix that I've had to employ the Redirector add-on. Slightly annoying but no big deal.

Just a heads up that I found another way to get this working. Have a good weekend!
