    • filters out privacy-hostile websites (like CloudFlare) and either marks them as such or folds them below the high ranking results.

Alive and running

NOTE: Public instances listed here may yield less accurate results as they have much higher traffic and consequently have a higher chance of being blocked by search providers such as Google, Qwant, Bing, Startpage, etc. Hosting your own instance or using an instance that isn't listed here may give you a more consistent search experience.

BEFORE EDITING: Please add your Searx instance by respecting the alphabetic order.

Running in exclusive private walled-gardens

These instances run in walled-gardens that exclude some segment of the general public (e.g. Tor users and users sharing IPs with many other users). Caution: privacy is also compromised on these sites due to exposure of cleartext traffic to a third party other than the website operator.
