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?

They do some treatment to the results too + internal data from them, it's not copy pasted from Bing, so the results turn out different for duckduckgo and other Bing downstream search engines.
