actually awesome and fast search engine (depending on which instance you use) with no trashy AI and ADs results also great for privacy, if you don't know which instance to use go to https://searx.space/ and choose an instance closest to you

if you never clear your cookies.

They allow you to use a link instead for saving settings, which can also be used to set as your default search engine

I'm not seeing that option anywhere. Nor does it allow me to change the "weight". I found a github discussion saying it should show up after you save the settings, but I tried that on two instances and didn't get any unique URL.

Ah, I found it under the "cookies" tab. Needs to be more obvious IMO.
