Search result from Searx Belgium for "Piefed" that instead shows multiple results for ChatGPT, with one of them appearing to be in Spanish.

Been trying to get away from DuckDuckGo because of their support of "AI" stuff, but come on, one of these isn't even in English, and that's what I have my language set to.

to use searx(ng) effectively you'll need to set up your own preferences, not the default

from the screenshot, the instance caches and shows results from bing only, ass.

it also use auto as default which will show personalized language results based on the instance's ip (although it's mainly yours), change that to all

you can do both just by changing and saving your preferences. for example here's mine
