RE: potential astroturfing (my comment last time); from my comment downthread that one:
Update on Grasp:
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!
Make sure to enable more engines in the settings
