They’re different things. The comment you’re replying to is talking about different search engines. SearxNG is a metasearch engine - it combines results from multiple different search engines together.
Both are important. If you use SearXNG but only enable Google, it’s essentially just a proxy for Google and you miss out on most of the value of it. Some of the other search engines may have better results for some searches than Google does.
Any recommendations on how to get started with that? I’ve been using it but without digging through a frankly intimidating list of configuration options, I’m not feeling like it’s really adding much value yet
I’ve started using SearXNG. Are these better?

No, SearXNG is great
Thanks
