I used to self-host searxng for a while, but somehow the search results where always off and mixed with to much non-relevant results :/.
It’s not about searxng itself… Rather how the most relevant info gets drown into AI slope and non-sense bullshit. The best blogposts/info are transmitted from people to people…
I’m kinda sad to admit that stupid AI “solved” this issue and had better results :/

I mean, getting non-relevant results happens with every search engine anymore.
The days of your search results being relevant, and on the first page, are long dead thanks to SEO and other factors.
Yeah you’re right ! However, ages ago, I still remember how you could go to page 20+ and still find some really interesting things !
Here, past page 2 it’s just some random shit…
Most of its just AI generated websites. Search for any topic and you’re likely to get 50 AI generated website that give a similar bulletpoint presentation of what search item X is according to the AI that generated the site.

You can self host that too ;)
OpenWebUI + Ollama + SearxNG. OpenWebUI can do llm web search using the engine of your choice (even self hosted SearxNG!). From there it’s easy to set the default prompt to always give you the top (10, 20, whatever) raw results so you’re not confined to ai results. It’s not quite duck.ai slick but I think I can get there with some more tinkering.

Is there a guide on how to do this on Linux + 16GB Radeon?

I mean, I could write one! I kind of just pieced it together from guides on the three individuals

Ohoho? That’s interesting. I don’t have the horse power to selfhost an AI, but that’s good to know !
Thanks for the pointer !!!
