Searx

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

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.
