SearXNG sometimes goes bonkers in its results (programming.dev)

I don't suppose there's a solution to it. I use https://search.trom.tf/ which cycles through a list of SearXNG instances, but some of them retrieve results that literally look like they belong to another query. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have. There was a period of time all of my results were in chinese.

Yeah, I've gotten different langs even when specifying en-us! Just rerunning the query through TROM Search to try up to a few other instances solves the trick, though.

Use quotes, also have you enabled the bing engine? https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/4964

Okay, so quotes do nothing, sadly:
