More robust SearXNG support (themes and URL patterns)

[emanuelegori]

searx.be respects the recommended syntax

ex: https://searx.be/search?q=Self-hosted+start+page+alternatives

any suggestions ?

Hey @emanuelegori, please make sure you are using the "simple" theme. You can check in the preferences of searx, found in the top right corner of the page:

Other themes than the "simple" theme are unfortunately not supported at the moment and may or may not work.

Does this solve your issue (at least with the "simple" theme)?

[emanuelegori]

yes, even if some instances, even if configured as you suggested, still don't work.

ex.: https://searxng.devol.it/ it does not work
https://priv.au work this works

I support your work. Thank you

Thank you, I see the issue.
The devol.it instance does not follow the required URL pattern and thus the injection script is not inserted. I might be able to make this more robust in the future to handle more variants of SearX, but due to my current workload it's not a priority.

For the time being please use other SearX instances or consider hosting your own.
