I’ve recently started to use searxng (just running it on a docker container from my laptop for now).

It’s been great so far, but there are a few features that I which it had. As far as I’m aware, there’s no way to have a blocklist to filter the search results (which is a shame).

For the people that run their own metasearch engines, what kinds of customisation have you done?

    Interesting post. I also run searxng after running searx for a long time. Only switched because of better integration with chatgptbox extension.

    There is a way to add the functionality you’re looking for but it’s not straightforward. You can edit search-engines.ts for the ublacklist extension to add the address of your local instance and build the extension yourself.
