Don’t know if this is the right comm. Let me know if there’s a better one.
Inthe last few days I noticed that the results of some public searxng instances has gotten way worse (mostly cyrillic/chinese text when searching english text with :en).
Does anyone else have that problem? Die google start the next anti-consumer tactic to push their AI garbage?
This might be Bing, i noticed that Bing always returns the worst thing possible.
I configure the engines to use brave, duckduckgo, google, qwant and yahoo, always give me good results, might be the law of large numbers in action.
Second that. I’m self hosting my own instance. If I only get some kanji (or sometimes, but very rare) cyrillic results, they’re usually by bing
DDG is just Bing results. I thiiink Qwant might be as well.
They do some treatment to the results too + internal data from them, it’s not copy pasted from Bing, so the results turn out different for duckduckgo and other Bing downstream search engines.
