I’ve been having errors like:

Error! Engines cannot retrieve results.

qwant (unexpected crash)

Please, try again later or find another searx instance. (Public instances)

Or:

Error! Engines cannot retrieve results.

brave (HTTP error)

Please, try again later or find another searx instance. (Public instances)

On both:

https://searx.sp-codes.de/search

https://searx.info/search

Not sure if it’s google blocking searx, or similar…

Edit: https://searx.sp-codes.de working right now, as well as some other instances… Thanks !

    Qwant has a tendency to respond with an error response for no reason from time to time

      BTW, Today at least https://searx.sp-codes.de is working. It might be Google aggressively rate limited several instances, and for some time. And it relaxed those limits after some time.

      Thanks !
