So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.

I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).

I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

How long has Google been this bad?

Yes. That way you can create a blocklist, which is what makes it so good for me.

I didn't realize it had a block list. That's an amazing feature that should be pointed out more! I'm going to have to give this a try now.

I've been hopping searxng instances for a year now and always noticed a couple seconds delay everytime I do a search. Does self hosting help with the delay?

I've tried some instances and I don't see a delay. My hosted version is a bit slower than public ones but that depends on your system, I guess.
