Startpage: The most private search engine
There are two that I know of:
YaCy: https://github.com/yacy/yacy_search_server (functional)
Seeks: https://github.com/beniz/seeks (defunct)

There's also SearX, which isn't distributed but is a metasearch engine (pulls results from multiple search engines) that you can self-host.

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!
