RE: potential astroturfing (my comment last time); from my comment downthread that one:
Anytime [paid search engines] are mentioned I suppose I’ll jump in and say…SearXNG is a popular non-commercial alternative. I wanted to throw Grasp in to give a commercial competitor a shout but they’ve “paused”.
Update on Grasp:
We will be back soon and will open-source our code.
Neat, wonder if SearXNG x Grasp would be synergistic.

I am also using SearcXNG and the search results are usually good even though sometimes on the light side and I still have to resort to other search engines.

I’ve been finding it very useful on various SearXNG instances to change the “language” from “auto” to “en” (English) for most of my searches, or to a specific language if I’m searching for something local or something that’s likely to be written about in that specific language. The search results change drastically!
