since https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searx supports bangs https://searxng.no-logs.com/info/en/search-syntax (! only)
we could move from DDG as default search engine to, maybe add one more layer of privacy?
https://searx.space/ lists public instances of searx, but it is hard to find an obvious choice to go for.
https://no-logs.com/:
- All analytics and nginx and user logs disabled.
- Up since 2023.
- Server located in 🇸🇪 Sweden.
Alternative could be to register a "few of them somehow", and "alternate between instances" for each search; a bit like a random round robin to distribute searches across searx instances (if that helps not sharing all searches in the same basket).
