  • Show HN: Self-hosteable browser-based minimalist web-searching platform

    Glad for your review!

    About the source of the search results, both text and images, they're all from [SearXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng/).

    > SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled.

    SearXNG by itself offers a full-stack platform for you to run searches privately (you can find public instances at <https://searx.space/>, and easily host yourself [via docker](https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker)).

    About how they scrape other search engines, it's really simple: HTTP calls and parsing of HTML (for most of them).

    In MiniSearch, I don't need to save the results by myself. The scrape is done in real-time by SearXNG and passed to MiniSearch, which in turn runs a similarity search and filters out the textual results that don't seem that useful.

    But I can say the real differential of MiniSearch is that it's mobile-first. Since the beginning, it was made to run on the browsers of Chrome/Safari/Firefox Mobile, and [Wllama](https://github.com/ngxson/wllama) together with [Web-LLM](https://github.com/mlc-ai/web-llm), along with LLMs of <1B parameters, allowed it!

    If you're curious, here's the HN post I made about it a year ago:

  • Disroot Search Engine (Tor hidden .onion service also available)
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Oct 2024
    Disroot Search:

    SearXNG

    "Anonymous multi search engine platform

    Disroot's Search is a search engine like Google, DuckDuckGo, Qwant, powered by SearXNG. What makes it unique from others is that it is a metasearch engine, aggregating the results of other search engines while not storing information about its users.

    You don't need any account on Disroot to use this service."

  • Creating a search engine for fun and because Google sucks
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Sep 2024
    As someone who cares about their online searches actually being good, fast and private, I cannot recommend SearXNG more. https://github.com/searxng/searxng/

    It's a metasearch engine that can query multiple search providers at once, including google, so you're not missing out on the good results you expect. Pick an instance at https://searx.space/ and tell your friends!

  • Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
    13 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Apr 2024
    Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe

    Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]

    Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.

    Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]

    Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:

    The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk

    ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community

    A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere

    The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers
