I guess I don’t understand what is supposed to be serving the webapp to your client (browser) then without something like nginx or apache. I run searxng as well but I wouldn’t be able to access it, even on localhost, without a web server.
You are running a specific module of a project locally - not the whole project.
The web server is an integral part - leaving it out makes you do a bit of the leg work: you’d need to figure out how the websites get built and deployed and then reverse engineer that for your android environment.
Personally I’m fascinated by that attempt and it could be an awesome learning opportunity. To be honest I don’t have the motivation to follow your path down this rabbit hole though.

What are you using for the web server? There should be logs somewhere

It’s a flask app. It will run an embedded server.
That’s interesting. So you would need to install flask as well I presume, right? Or does the script pull that in?
It’s embedded. The python app will serve http.
I will have to try out some flask apps. I like the ease of use they seem to have
Just the “about” page has issues? The rest is fine? No messages on the console where you ran python?

Flask apps are usually run from gunicorn or something. What exactly did you modify on those shell scripts?

Maybe try the searxng matrix support chat, I think there might be a few developers around that could point you in right direction:
https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org
They also have a Mirc support channel is that is more your cup of tea.
