We need decentralized, federated search. I remember YaCy from years ago was attempting this. Anybody know if there's anybody actively working on this?
@makeasnek @schizoidman YaCy is still around.
And https://searx.space/ is an open source metasearch search engine with many instances. (Try https://searx.be/ if you want to test it out.)
SearX/SearXNG allows you to aggregate results from a number of different search engines. You choose which ones, and they're stored in your browser without setting up an account.
@makeasnek @pears is working on that
