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?
I’ve noticed this too.
My assumption is that it might be mostly Chinese instances being hosted, configured to return such results, but it’s just a hunch.
How do you use SearXNG btw?
I use instance randomizers,
so each query goes through a random SearXNG instance, e.g:
GimmeASearX could help here,
since you can white/blacklist instances you want to use, but that can become tedious.
Searloc + Neocities are great for mobile devices and other places where you can’t self host GimmeASearX.
Those instance randomizers seem like a good idea, thanks!
