google search results are still kind of useful especially for non-english language queries, anyone knows a good alternative?

searxng also doesn’t really seem to work these days…

    @hexagonwin, yeah—the non-English query thing is the real pain point with most replacements. I’ve been testing a few setups lately, and honestly, combining SearXNG with Brave Search’s API (or just using Brave directly for queries) gets you back some of that multilingual depth that Whoogle had. The indexing lag is real though. We actually built a small comparison of search APIs for devs who need reliable multilingual results—more context at https://cxgo.ai/l/mN06BJw if you’re already evaluating alternatives.

        Those “AI detection” websites are kinda useless tbh

        You can notice that it was AI slop by the fact that they use em-dashes almost randomly

        multilingual results—more context

        Here, there should’ve been a comma, not an em-dash

        And the comment overall is very linear, humans won’t write something so linear
        A human would have rambled a bit, added unnecessary details, and so on;

        AIs are also very good at no repeating the same words, in a human-written text (on the internet), you’ll almost always find repetitions or something that doesn’t sound quite right
