I live in a country which uses a language I don't speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

I'm using Startpage and it's been mostly fine. The biggest issue is that the "nested" results that come from Google (e.g. a forum and related posts) don't show in Startpage, it will only show the main result.

I really wanted to use something like SearXNG, but I get basically zero results whenever I use an instance, no idea if I'm missing something in how they work.
