Google pushed their Ai Overview onto my country last night and that finally gave me the push to change search engines.
One thing I did find useful was having product prices displayed in the search result headers but this doesn’t appear to be enabled in any other engine. I used it to quickly scan between retailers as not everything shows up in pricespy or priceme.
I deployed a searxng instance this morning and have heard that you can use json to modify result presentation. Does anyone know if it’s possible to use that to display prices?

I’m fairly sure that the price information shown on a Google Search result page is advertising that comes from a different source than the results do.
As far as I know, you could write a plugin for SearXNG to query suppliers and format the output as required.
I think that Google Shopping might be queried in the same way, but I’ve never looked into it deeply.
Ahh that also explains why it seems to be a google only thing. Thank you though, knowing that it’s through the shopping api will hopefully help me find a solution (if it exists).
I haven’t used google for ages, so didn’t know this was a thing, but it sounds like a handy indicator if it could be added to searxng.
