Seems to be lacking, I tried searching for “defcon 28 talks” since it has a hacker news filter and it didn’t return anything relevant when compared to my SearXNG search that came back with much better results. I tried it without the hacker news filter and that just made the results worse.
No, it’s just doing whatever it does by default for that. Being the only user does take away an element of anonymity, but I don’t think it’s to an unacceptable level. Sure, they might have a good idea of what I like to search, but they don’t know what links I’m clicking on or interacting with, and I’m not seeing any ads from the searches. So I’m a totally useless data point in that regard.
On the web ui, a popover should appear as soon as you type @ followed by three nonspace characters. You can select the user you want to tag from there and it should fill in the proper markdown. In the end it looks like this: @[email protected]

I’ve tried a couple of SearXNG public instances, but 8 searches out of 10 they returned no results because of API limit. How do you guys use it?
P.s. How can I quote another person, for example @[email protected]?
I run my own personal instance on a server, nobody else is really using it.
Are you using your account for the Google API? If yes, doesn’t it mine the privacy point of SearXNG?

I also host it (locally). Added an Invidious instance as well 🤓
Pss… you can use mine: search.estebiu.com It’s pretty fast

Oh, so mine should have worked! Thanks! I’m using Jerboa and it doesn’t suggest anything after typing @ and the name of the person I want to quote.
Not sure about Jerboa. Sorry. Maybe there a dedicated button for it.
