I recently setup SearXNG to take the place of Whoogle (since Google broke it by disabling JS free query results). I am following the same steps I've always done in adding a new default search engine.

Navigate to the address bar, right click "Add SearXNG" then go into settings and make it my default. After doing this, rather than using the local IP the instance is running at, Firefox uses https://localhost/search for some reason. I don't see a way to edit this in the settings section of Firefox. Anyone else experienced this?

Update: After updating the .env file with my IP address and bring docker down/ up, all is working as expected (able to use SearXNG via Caddy using the https:// address)

Bingo! I missed a spot in the hidden .env file. After that I'm able to hit it and Caddy is able to generate the cert for me (I am using docker).

Thanks again!
