    I used to self-host searxng for a while, but somehow the search results were always off and mixed with to much non-relevant results :/.

    I mean, getting non-relevant results happens with every search engine anymore.

    The days of your search results being relevant, and what you want 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…
