Can a search engine be selfhosted?

Can a search engine be selfhosted? - Lemmy.world

The quality of search engines has gone down so much for technical questions. I’m looking for a way to index sites like stack exchanges, reddit, quora, and research papers. Would this be possible to do this locally with metadata?

I’m glad you ask! I have been working on a peer-to-peer search engine. The goal is to index websites that are on IPFS. It’s an MVP but you can already try the demo and run your node to make your data searchable for the whole network (you would need to generate html files from your data and put it on ipfs first)
