+luca0N! Search was an instance of [searX](https://searx.github.io), a free and
+open source metasearch engine.  This instance was opened to the general public
+a couple of years ago.
+
+This searX instance had issues since it was originally opened and it has been
+unmaintained for a long time.  Getting rate limited by the default search
+engines was quite common.  Because of this, the instance had been removed from
+the [luca0N! service list](https://www.luca0n.com/en/services), although it
+remained opened.
+
+[Following the archival of the searX
+repository](https://github.com/searx/searx), luca0N! Search is now closed.
+
+[searXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng) is a searX fork, with a focus on
+bleeding edge updates and features.  If you have been using luca0N! Search, you
+can find new searXNG instances by visiting its Git repository, where public
+instances that are maintained are listed.
+
+Thanks to those who have used, sent feedback and reported issues with luca0N!
