Searx

Self-hostable frontend for various search engines.

Privacy-wise it's useful to use a public instance. All requests to, say, Google, will come from one instance, so the profile Google creates is based on multiple people rather than a single person.

Feature-wise I'm attracted to the idea of setting it up to use a search that filters out garbage websites, or even a really focused search specific to a topic (so a curated list of websites search for a game-making web search for Game Making Tools, for example).

Searx and Searxng

Config

Filtering

settings.yml
enabled_plugins:
	- 'Hostname replace'

hostname_replace:
# Hide results from these domains:
	'(.*\.)?w3schools\.com': false
# Replace these domains:
	'(.*\.)?reddit\.com$': 'old.reddit.com'
