Maybe you should add brave search in the search engines that searxng use. I'm using it since almost one year and except for images I never had weird results

Oh and I don't know if qwant is really good for English searches since it's a French search engine(however it is almost perfect for french searches)

I removed it on purpose. Trying my best to rely on any search engine other than Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo, and Bing.

Why not duckduckgo? I'd been using them since I had heard they were good and can be trusted for the most part.

I used to use it but honestly grew tired of getting the same search results. The same Medium article, the same video, the same news report at the top. I often feel like I only see the tip of the iceberg, and often never find what I need.
