nostr:npub1h6zx48mues94cvpgnklhg0h9j4t29y248a285pppyxpvqmxnd5aqqgmvn7 Searx is a metasearch engine rather than a search engine. It relies on querying the engines you can see in the preferences area https://search.gcomm.ch/searx/preferences. From what I know about these available engines, they are all in NATO aligned countries, but you can tell me if you see differently. I do not know the full extent of Western firewall capabilities nor what is implemented. I understand how firewalls can impede crawling, but how can a firewall affect a query or the results from Yandex?
