Why doesn't #Tor use an #opensource #searchengine such as #searx by default?

Does a pretty good job & has 80+ instances available at:

searx.space/ 😀

That should ensure a better uptime & reliability than #duckduckgo & of course - way better everything - than #bing 👍

More about it at:

SearX is good for individual installs (I'm using it everyday), but as a default for a widely used software it would kill the chosen instance (or make it banned by the search providers).
Hence it would require manual instance selection from trusted people (or a more complex decentralized reputation mechanism), load balancing, etc.
There are projects of search engine using open or distributed indexers (Stract, Pearsproject, meta-press) but it's more experimental.
