[kwlug-disc] Now in the market for a new search engine...

[Andrew Sullivan Cant]

This reminded me of the Searx search engine, which sounds interesting 
but I have not gotten around to looking at.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searx
* https://searx.space/

It appears to be a meta-search engine, which you can run locally or use 
existing mirrors.
This means it does not disconnect you from the existing search engines, 
but might be a useful step removed from them. And provides you with at 
least an interface which you have more control over.

Its AGPLv3, which is nice.

Has anyone ever user or looked at this?

Oh, sorry I forgot the right terminology for that...

"Dear Lazyweb, ..."   :)
