Could you give more information?

Is it running in the same machine you want to search from?

Is it running in a container (and which network mode)?

Have you changed the configuration of SearXNG? I think the default URL was localhost in some settings (like the hostname or base_url variables in not settings.yml and docker-compose.yml).

Also, it’s been a while since I made SearXNG my default search engine, I used to use an extension since the Firefox way is less customizable.

I’m self-hosting in a 500GB HDD, 2 cores AMD A6, 8GB RAM thinkcentre (access for LAN only) that I got very cheap.

It could be better, I’m going to buy a new computer for personal use and I’m the only one in my family who uses the hosted services, so upgrades will come later 😴
