I’m interested in self hosted web search engines to run at home instead of using Google is SearXNG a good replacement or are there other better suggestions?

Other than self hosting a search engine what are some good web search providers? Most of my device browsers list the following default options:

  • Google
  • Yahoo
  • Bing
  • DuckDuckGo
  • Ecosia

There is also Kagi, a paid search engine. They recently gained some controversy due to "partnering" with Brave, but quickly backtrack on the "partner" announcement.

I have used Kagi for several weeks and can't go back. I can finally find things on the internet again and I don't want to lose that again.

Yes, SearXNG is a good self-hosted replacement.
