I tried it last about six months ago. It was a marked improvement over what it was a couple of years prior. I like that it is decentralized and stores no private data. To me, the decentralized part is important. But, I'm not sure I'd say it's ready for prime time.
With Searx, you still need the regular search engines. I suspect that your traffic can still be identified, say through timing requests or from piecing together behavioral data. I haven't really dug that deep to investigate the risks.
I will give it a shot tomorrow, just to try it out. I've seen it in passing but you're the first person I've seen, in the wild, that uses it. I'll give it a test run.
