  • I’ve been trying to get into Searx for about a month now, but I just cannot make it work the way I want it to.
    The auto-detect is constantly in the wrong country, sometimes throwing me to a random one if I search for a product e.g.
    If I lock it to one country it works better, but then it excludes so much potentially useful data.

    Any advice on how to set it up a bit to make it work better?







  • The misinformation is that they don’t work well in the cold. Truth be told, they are fantastic in the cold. I’d argue better than ICE. That’s a different topic for a different day though.

    You are, rightfully so, claiming batteries don’t like cold temperatures. What you fail to add are the mitigations companies make to solve these issues. That feels disingenous, unless you just didn’t know.

    If your phone had the capacity and function to heat itself up during outdoor use, it would also work brilliantly.

    So while I’m sure the scientific papers are great, without having read them, I’d guess they don’t include the whole picture either as if they would, we’d be in agreement.

    I tried finding where I called you any names and failed, but if you felt attacked then I appoligize for that. I have nothing against you or think you deserve that. We are just disagreeing on this one topic.

    Have a good night!


  • Which is why they are heated before being charged, either by the on-board heater if it’s been parked, or naturally by just driving the damn thing.

    You said EVs don’t work well in the cold. That is a demonstrably false statement by the fact that Norway has over 500 000 of them rolling around all year. You can post as many misinformed links supporting it as you wish. If it had any merit, we would not be at 90%+ adoption rating.

    Either you are the biggest genious in the world and we are half a million morons, or you are just wrong.
    The fact that I drive mine in weather spanning from -30 C to +25 C makes me suspect the latter.

    Have a good one, mate.
