the new results are also worse than the first batch in my experience.

FWIW I thought the same. Seems like every search engine turns to doo with time.

Would be a great moment for a great open source search engine to take everyone by storm, well, like that’s ever gonna happen…

I feel like that would be more easily gameable. SearXNG relies on results from other engines and there’s this one distributed one that’s apparently basically useless for most searches. Do with that info what you will. ~Nai

My wish would be for a free search engine, not a meta search engine, but it doesn’t seem like there is much interest for that, mainly because it highly demanding in terms of complexity, but most importantly resources to run it.

I feel like that would be more easily gameable.

I’m sorry, what does that mean?
