Why? So that you have a bad experience on all instances, not just on one?

I haven't used searx often but when I do, I don't face any issues. What arr your issues with them?

You can add the one from the post, and it works really well, at least for me

Note: you add the link as a search engine, and it will give you a random instance every time

Yeah, this is a pain for me too actually

There's the no-js version, but it doesn't seem to be automatic, and also there's a tor only version

The bookmark doesn't seem to work for me on mull browser android. I've added the bookmark link as a search engine:

https://searx.neocities.org/#q=%s&category_general=on

But when i use it with "test" for example, without quotes, i'm just landing on the default page. The searched text doesn't appear in the searchbox.

Maybe i missed something ?

Thanks for the reply. Tried again just now and it works indeed as advertised, sorry for the noise. Maybe because i removed it from my bookmarks (i tried that until i figured there's no shortcuts in mull). Or maybe some cache expired...

Anyway, it works indeed, thanks !
