I prefer it. It sucked when I was running a public instance because I was always getting DDoSed and rate limited So it was, for all intents and purposes, kind of useless.

But hosting a private instance, I haven't really had an issue with rate limiting and it's the only search engine I use now. I like to have that extra layer of privacy. And it's kind of neat to see the aggregated results of multiple different search engines. 

 I didn't know it did that. I should try it again.
