I also run searx self-hosted, configured to proxy all its queries through Tor. Occasionally one of the engines doesn't return results (probably due to blocking), which is barely noticeable since several others still work, but normally all the engines including Google return results.

Since searx doesn't store cookies returned by the search engines, and I'm using it through Tor, I think this is a significant improvement over sending all my search queries to Google directly from my laptop.
