Some day surely Windows and Mac will get something similar to SearXNG, then you won't have to worry about this stuff
Nah, self hosted local search engine on Microsoft's platform? Lol
Yep
I am a Linux user.
Then I'd suggest SearXNG. I use public instances because no one has made a way for me to natively host it myself, but I recommend it regardless
That reminds me : Last time I tried Garuda Linux it came with a local Whoogle instance.
Unfortunately it's broken all the time because it gets IP-banned by Google. Perhaps they could implement something like the Invidious smart-ipv6-rotator to prevent this.
What prevents you? Lots of people run their own instance.
