        Yes, but I want to hoard my own index instead of piggybacking on other search engines. Will 1 billion dollar enough to build your own personal, completely independent search engine? I will never know.

          YaCy might be what you’re looking for in that case. It’s not super user friendly but I haven’t found a better alternative yet

        I think for many people who want to selfhost a search engine, a metasearch engine like SearX (and forks) are not what they are looking for.

        It would be really nice if SearxNg could query an internal index instead of relying on 3rd party search engines.
