The Problem
Self-hosted SearXNG instances return empty results 10-20% of the time because upstream engines rate-limit or block the instance IP, causing unreliable search experience for users.
How Scavio Helps
- Empty-result rate drops from 10-20% to under 1%
- SearXNG handles 80-85% of queries keeping API costs low
- Automatic fallback on empty or low-quality results
- AI Overview data adds context SearXNG cannot provide
- Privacy-first default with reliable commercial fallback
