My preference would be to change it to DuckDuckGo. For obvious reasons.

Hi The one pushed to add is not high on the list (runs an unknown version as well)? https://searx.space/
To me it doesn't matter I change it locally ;)

Sure, requesting changing the searx instance we use is welcome, if you suggest something that works well

I'd rather keep it on Google Search, simply because it's the only search that actually seems to broadly work. I've tried using others from time to time (e.g. DuckDuckGo! is a common one people bring up) and they're just bad. Sometimes I get no results, but a lot more often I get the *wrong* results.
Frankly, I think we generally expect Google Search quality results, and nobody is quite to the level to replace it for the majority of cases.

This has been my experience as well so i'd tend to agree.
Personally, I LOVE the *idea* of this. I can't say I've heard of this particular engine, but I have heard of a number of others. Is there a particular reason why this one was selected over the other privacy focused engines? Please don't take this as disapproval - I'm ALWAYS in favor of anything that promotes privacy.

I would guess the reason is open source, but you should probably ask that in the PR

i think this is the best option assuming o-o uses a good instance or self hosts.
Re. some of the current responses: Searx is a meta search engine and supports various search engines by default, including duckduckgo and google, among others.

so prone to be slow (as duck is) and redundent.
google is the best by the result, but why not Qwant as well?

Privacy is nice, but other engines I've used on multiple occasions are clearly inferior hit producers. Google is my goto, unless I know what I'm looking for is on Wikipedia or eBay.
Change in default search engine? Yes.
Change to searx? Maybe. As pointed out by others, DuckDuckGo is a bit controversial, because of "something right vs useful" dilema. I try to use it, but often I fall back to startpage.com as a safe proxy to google.
Change to searx.xyz instance? I'm not sure. What do we know about it? Who owns it? Is it reliable? Can we trust it?

How about telling how to set it up ourselves for testing now? :-)

jekyll-template has the commands for setting up jekyll websites: https://github.com/openSUSE/jekyll-template#how-to-build
You will need bundler though, which you can grab via rubygem(bundler) provides in zypper

Huh. Unless someone provides a click and point method, as any other search engine in Firefox, it is not going to catch.
I don't see "searx".
Then I'm against it being set as default.
