An alternative to Elasticsearch that runs on a few MBs of RAM
Somewhat related, this guy: https://github.com/mosuka/ seems to be very passionate about search service.
He built two distributed search services:
- https://github.com/mosuka/phalanx, written in Go.
- https://github.com/mosuka/bayard, written in Rust.

Postgres Full Text Search vs. the Rest
I wish we had an extension like ZomboDB but using a lighter search engine like https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit, https://github.com/toshi-search/Toshi and https://github.com/mosuka/bayard
Here I'm listing engines based on https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy - tantivy is comparable to Lucene in its scope - but I'm sure there are other engines that could tackle ElasticSearch.
Another thing that could happen is maybe directly embed tantivy in Postgres using an extension, perhaps this could be an option too.

Meilisearch, the Rust search engine, just raised $5M
So there's more than one? The one I knew was https://github.com/quickwit-oss/tantivy and https://github.com/quickwit-oss/quickwit on top of it (there's a couple of other search engines built on top of tantivy, like https://github.com/bayard-search/bayard)

I want to organize my few TBs of data in a nice way
I use Recoll to index all of it. Recoll WebUI exposes an API, which I plugged into Searx.

Google Removes Sort by Date options in search
The quality of Google search results has been awful for many years now, but if you still want to use it, the only usable way is via a frontend like Searx[1]. Using any of Google's frontends for any of their services is an exercise in frustration from dodging ads and fighting their hostile UI.

Any way to create RSS of google?
RSS-Bridge has a Google search adapter. You can also fake it with Searx (which offers RSS feeds of search results).

Local self ask
I've recently wondered how effective local models were at chaining together thoughts as proposed in https://ofir.io/self-ask.pdf. Turns out they are indeed capable of doing so while also creating reasonable chains of thoughts that are easily as good as OpenAI's models. To make it completely free to run I used SearX running inside a Docker container with a second model curating the search results for the main model to get answers from the web.
