Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/938

When self-hosting the service, is it possibile to replace the Whoogle farside link in the "instance limited" error page with a link to a particular Whoogle instance we prefer? Would be amazing to have direct redirect to another personal Whoogle instance as a back-up for the main one

The link is hard-coded here. So you can't configure it but I guess you can manually edit the file and add another URL.

I've tried to add the URL of the instance in that line but it can't work because "/whoogle/" is added after the URL I set. How can I remove that line, so that it redirect correctly to my instance?

That's in error.html . Remove "whoogle/" from the link.

@askabaz22 The above suggestion should work for you, but let me know if you're still having issues.
