I had this error too and fixed it by removing the separate searxng network so that searxng is on the same network with backend and frontend services, and then I set my SEARXNG_BASE_URL=http://searxng:8080 and also added a Redis server (not sure if that's required or not).

thanks, that worked for me. I did not need a redis database.
