What is going on with search engines these days?
Gigablast - A search engine whose source code is available on Github. TMK, it doesn't depend on any existing indexes either and uses its own crawler. Would be what I'd recommend to everyone but they recently collaborated with a company that has a questionable past to create a privacy focused search engine. A company that was behind the hostile takeover of Freenode IRC.

EU Open Web Search Project Started
Any new open-source search option is good, but I also wish more attention was given to prior open projects like GigaBlast[0]/KBlast[1] crawlers, etc.
It hasn't escaped the wider world that quality open-source search is desirable, and it's hard to think what this new EU project brings to the table that isn't already available if others want to contribute to existing efforts. I wish the EU project the best of luck of course!

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.
