Anyone use self hosted search engines?


Saw some mentions of SearXNG

What even is a self hosted search engine? 🤔

You basically host a page, and then it queries other search engines.  

It works by taking your search query, sending it simultaneously to over 70 major search services (like Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo), and stripping out all user tracking, cookies, and ads before combining and displaying the results on a single page
