searx

Actual search requests will be made to a server running searx software, there are many public available. We call such servers 'instances'.

searx-stats2

The searx-stats2 project lists public searx instances with statistics. The original instance is running at https://searx.space/. This is where searx-qt will request a list with instances when the update button is pressed.
