<![CDATA[Anyone else having trouble with searx not really working lately?]]>I've been using it as my primary search engine on my laptop and mobile for a while now. It's mostly been great, but in the last few days it mostly doesn't work 😞

As in, it's started to take ages to load search results, and often doesn't give any results at all (Sorry message):

Sorry_we_didnt_find_any_results.png

Or often it gives an Error message informing me that some of the engines I'm using have timed out. eg

error_engines_cannot_recetrieve_results.png

Indeed, since Firefox updated on my mobile I've actually been unable to add it as a search engine on there again as it just tells me there is no response (I guess it's just too slow for Firefox to accept it exits 😞 )

Is anyone else having similar issues?

I tried turning off most engines which for a moment seem to improve things, but with further testing it didn't really seem to make much/ any difference 😕

Not self-hosted but still a reasonable proxy from what I can tell.

Then basically stopped. After leaving it for ages it seems to work OK again. I think it may just be that the search engines it calls start blocking it but I've really no idea what's going on. I basically just decided to stop using it and reverted back to Duck Duck Go.

Has anyone made any progress on this? I am running into the same issue after trying out searx for the first time. Reinstalling hasn't fixed anything.
