I can't grasp how you got that idea. Do you not know what self-hosted means?

the engine craws the web and saves its data locally. this locally saved data can be queried/searched. So yes, in your search engine, there will only be your own searches. But these searches are only visible to your own servers/services.

This is not what SearX does. It queries other search engines.

yes, i mixed up the engines and commented without verifying which it was.

i'm sorry for that. i just thought it wasn't necessary to edit as somebody sufficiently pointed out how mistaken i was 9 days ago.

This is not how searx works.
