I've been selfhosting searxng as well. I'm very happy with the search results once I configured it. Public searxng instances work very well for me too.
Yes once configurated it is very good ☺️
I been trying to configure it myself but I wasn't able to do it. I change the config file so I can use Brave and Startpage as default search engines but the changes did not applied. I restarted the service and everything.
We are here to help :)
I use my own docker-compose.yml. I made modifications, but it is very easy to use. Replace YOUR.URL.HERE with your URL for searx and enter a path for the configuration mounting. Now start the stack and wait a few seconds, while the config files are generated. Now stop the stack and remove the # in the two lines 30 & 31 (CAP DROP / ALL) in the docker-compose.yml for security reasons.
Make your changes to the configuration files now (backup recommended), before you start the stack again. Start trhe stack and try it out 😊
My docker-compose.yml is on my Cryptpad. You can make a copy, but the link won´t be valid forever.
I will try our when I get home thank you!!
Good luck 🌞

Glad that it helped you to get it running 😊
