I’m kind of tired of Google sending me to the same 3 sites whenever I search for something. If not the same 3 sites it’s 7 others that are so generic and boring I just feel they’re useless. It’s always makeuseof, androidauthority, or whatever other sites that have useful information but I rarely feel like they are saying anything new.

I want to see the results from those small blogs that are sometimes linked here. I can’t come up with one since… you know that’s why I’m asking how to find them, but you know them; they talk about nerdy stuff and are not afraid to get technical in whatever topic they discuss.

Also duckduckgo and qwant do the same thing. If there is a way to curate the results to better fit my needs then that’d be great too!

    Yup. That smart recognition didn’t play for me on 127.0.0.1:8080

      There’s a Firefox addon called “Add custom search engine” which will allow you to add a local instance of searx.

      You’ll want to give it the full search query, with %s where the search string goes. for you, it’ll be something like:
