My issue with SearXNG is that I cannot natively use it on mobile (iOS). Might be a small issue for most but I need to be able to type into my browser's search bar and it utilize that search engine. Open browser > navigate to search homepage > enter query is a lot slower, especially if I am out and about and need information quickly.

If there is some way to configure this I'd love to hear about it, but Safari on iOS limits you to a handful of search engines. I use DDG today.

I did a quick search and found instructions to what I think you are asking for hopefully this helps. The query string for paulgo.io is "https://paulgo.io/search?q="

I have also heard Xsearch works

searchengine.party also has the query string links for a multitude of different search engines, as well as a comparison of security tests and privacy policies and other functions

xSearch on the AppStore lets you use any search engine with Safari.
