SearX is technology, it isn't one specific server. So people need to find a SearX instance running on some server. Here is a list https://searx.space/
I've some some alright results with it, the one I'm using says they were blocked by google, which is probably why their results are tending to be more accurate.
you can set your preferences to whatever engines you want to use.
Include Google, or not. It's up to you.
The preferences are saved in a cookie which is not stored by the SearX application (can be verified by the source code on github).
If you don't trust the public instance, you can host your own and pipe it through a VPN, or you VPN to a public provider. I do both, depending on my need at the time.
Use SearX or SearXNG.
Then never worry about using a shitty search engine again.
