Google censors and shadow bans and results is a dumber society, dumber education system. To counter act such intent, use searXNG. Here is how to install it on Linux Mint.

Download it.

{pre}
git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git
{/pre}

{pre}
cd into searxng
{/pre}

The docs are available at https://docs.searxng.org/

The only supported operating systems are...

{pre}
        ubuntu-*|debian-*)
            # For uWSGI debian uses the LSB init process; for each configuration
            # file new uWSGI daemon instance is started with additional option.
            service uwsgi status "${SERVICE_NAME}"
            ;;
        arch-*)
            systemctl --no-pager -l status "uwsgi@${SERVICE_NAME%.*}"
            ;;
        fedora-*)
{/pre}

You then need to change every instances of

{pre}
ubuntu-*|debian-*)
{/pre}

to

{pre}
ubuntu-*|debian-*|linuxmint-*)
{/pre}

The file it gets its Linux installation name is /etc/os-release variable ID

{pre}
echo $(source /etc/os-release; echo "$ID");
{/pre}

or

{pre}
cat /etc/os-release
{/pre}

the files in reference are...
{br}
# ./utils/searxng.sh
# ./utils/lib.sh 
# ./utils/lib_redis.sh
{br}

Here are some fast sed commands...

{pre}
find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/ubuntu-*|debian-*)/ubuntu-*|debian-*|linuxmint-*)/g; s/ubuntu-*|debian-*)/ubuntu-*|debian-*|linuxmint-*)/g' {} +

find . -type f -exec sed -i 's/ubuntu|debian)/ubuntu|debian|linuxmint)/g' {} +
{/pre}

and you need a working python environment as searxng is written in python...

{pre}
sudo apt install python3 -y
{/pre}
{pre}
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
{/pre}

The run the installation script...

{pre}
sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install all
{/pre}
