Search engines are also super difficult to run locally well in my experience. Stuff like SearXNG are okayy, but they just pull entirely from other site's indexes. Having any sort of index of your own is much harder. Yacy is intriguing, it's a P2P concept but it just never seemed to work well.
I've found 4get is a much better experience than searx ever was (and I used searx as my main for a while)
