I've noticed this too.
My assumption is that it might be mostly Chinese instances being hosted, configured to return such results, but it's just a hunch.
How do you use SearXNG btw?
I use instance randomizers,
so each query goes through a random SearXNG instance, e.g:
GimmeASearX could help here,
since you can white/blacklist instances you want to use, but that can become tedious.
Searloc + Neocities are great for mobile devices and other places where you can't self host GimmeASearX.
Those instance randomizers seem like a good idea, thanks!
