@girish said in SearxNG has an instance with ChatGPT experimental support:

@jdaviescoates ah, thanks for the info! I wanted to switch as well but was trying to find out why they forked before I made the switch.

Thanks and thanks @jdaviescoates . SearxNG looks like the better choice.

For me the problem is that though the front-end is Free, all the "search" engines are censorious, Big Data monstrosities. I really hope we are able to find a Free search that can be run on Cloudron.

Just to remind everybody, there is a request by JoDuMonT here for YaCy:

@LoudLemur Yeah, also Whoogle works pretty well.

@cometfox27 did you deploy searx via Cloudron?

That begs the question, is there a self-hosted front end where you specify the backend search engines to use to get results and the frontend displays them for you as a proxy?

@jdaviescoates Correct, if you use Gandi API you are using wildcard certs and good.

When a cert is issued, most of the current certificate providers these days "log" the domain name as part of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_Transparency project. These reports can then be scanned later. For example, go to https://crt.sh/ and search for say %google.com%. This gives various subdomains of google. When you use wildcard certs, only *.domain.com is logged and thus the subdomain is hidden. So, if you install searx at mysecretsearch.domain.com, there is no way for anyone to know the subdomain mysecretsearch since DNS has no subdomain search.

I think this can be marked as solved...

Since the reinstall back in Feb I've since been using my searx instance as my primary search on both my laptop and mobile, however, it's largely stopped working in recent days 😞

Thanks, new version is published now.
