Expected behavior Results

Additional context I also tried the following:

  • Visiting mojeek directly to make sure my IP wasn't blocked
  • Visiting public instances to make sure that it was widespread
  • Selecting instances that don't use ipv6 (as per https://github.com/searxng/searxng/discussions/3188) to confirm that the issue is unrelated
  • Changed outgoing: source_ips: 0.0.0.0 in my settings.yml file to make sure ipv6 wasn't the issue on my end.
