Any recommendations for meta search engines? (feddit.it)

Soo, i was searching for a SearXNG alternative since it's an hassle to customize the UI, it's also slow and i didn't found much to be honest

The only things i found is Websurfx which look like vibecoded (at least, the readme look like it was wrote by a clanker and in the contributions there is an AI agent)

Do anyone have any suggestion?

Edit: i'd like to not spend money on a search engine tbh...that's why i'd like to self-host or use a public instance

Edit 2: i found out about those:

https://github.com/Ahwxorg/LibreY (kinda dead tbh)

https://git.bwaaa.monster/omnisearch (works but some engines don't)

Edit 3: parentesis

Edit 4: Degoog may be the solution, i am still open to other solutions tho

Is it self-hostable? I'd rather not pay if i can just self-host, especially considering that there is no demo or anything to test MetaGer
