docs(searxng): the upstream engine count is an order of magnitude, not a fact

The intro carried "388 engine entries" from a 2026-10-19 probe; upstream is at 385 today. The
number moves every week, which makes a precise one a liability in a runbook. The page now states
the size class, names `/config` as the only authority for what an instance loads, and keeps the
fleet's live 262 with today's date.

# SearXNG Tuning
SearXNG is a metasearch engine. It aggregates hundreds of upstream search
services into one result set (upstream `settings.yml` defines 388 engine
entries at master, probed 2026-10-19; the live fleet instance loads 262).
Configuration lives in `settings.yml`. The recommended deployment is Docker
Compose (or Podman Quadlet) with a Valkey container.
SearXNG is a metasearch engine: it aggregates upstream search services into one result set.
Upstream ships several hundred engine entries (385 in `settings.yml` at master, read
2026-10-21 — the count drifts every week, so treat it as an order of magnitude, not a fact);
what your instance actually loads is what `/config` reports, and the fleet's loads **262**
(re-read 2026-10-21). Configuration lives in `settings.yml`. The recommended deployment is
Docker Compose (or Podman Quadlet) with a Valkey container.
This page lists the settings that matter for speed, privacy, and useful results.
