I remember https://yacy.net/ but the big problem of this project was java and had not implementations in others languages. I mean it as imagine torrent was only in perl.

Your privacy is optional
I have switched over to using DuckDuckGo as my main search engine, but I may set up SearNGX behind a VPN in the future.

Welcome to mwmbl, the free, open-source and non-profit search engine
For my first search (current work problem) "rust json diff" it only found 6 links, only one of which was a rust crate. Unfortunate.
Second Search: "black sabbath sleeping village lyrics" only gave 2 results, only one of which was correct.
Also the repo is missing the SearXNG[1] search engine.

Searx is no longer maintained
From the README,
> What is the difference between searx and SearxNG?
> TL;DR: SearXNG is for users that want more features and bugs getting fixed quicker. If you prefer a minimalist software and stable experience, use searx.
> SearxNG is a fork of searx, created by a former maintainer of searx. The fork was created because the majority of the maintainers at the time did not find the new proposed features privacy respecting enough. The most significant issue is with engine metrics.
> Searx is built for privacy conscious users. It comes with a unique set of challenges. One of the problems we face is that users rather not report bugs, because they do not want to publicly share what engines they use or what search query triggered a problem. It is a challenge we accepted.
> The new metrics feature collects more information to make engine maintenance easier. We could have had better and more error reports to benefit searx maintainers. However, we believe that the users of searx must come first, not the software. We are willing to compromise on the lack of issue reports to avoid violating the privacy of users.
> Furthermore, SearxNG is under heavy refactoring and dependencies are constantly updated, even if it is unnecessary. It increases the risk of introducing regressions. In searx we strive for stability, rather than moving fast and breaking things.

Try a Marxist-Leninist search engine - is it useful?
Hmm if you're good at computer shit you could put up a custom Searxng instance and configure it to only search a certain subset of sources/websites. It'd be self-hosted so no google, you just need a domain and a vps to host it on.

Marginalia.nu API
> SearXNG supports marginalia but uses the demo key.
Yeah. Looking over the GitHub issue you raised about it, they didn't seem to really understand the problem before they closed it.
I've just asked a question about it (same thing, different wording), which might work:
- Best alternative to duckduckgo?
-
Why Firefox doesn't launch their own Private search engine ?
- SearXNG - It aggregates results from various search services and databases. I personally find these two instances to be really good options but there are others if you search the "instance list": searx.be and baresearch.org
