So I am thinking about launching a #FOSS #searchengine locally. It would cache so when I don't have internet access, I could browse the small web and enjoy great articles. I could also give access to interested friends and family.

Do you have suggestions other than #yacy and #wiby?

Yacy seems better but the search quality is not good. And regarding wiby, it uses #sql for the database :/

Boosts very much appreciated.

PS: The blogs which do #linkdump like @82mhz would be a very good seed. Already roasted meat ready to be served :)

Edit: I thought development of Yacy has stopped. But checking their repo, they are still active:

github.com/yacy

Edit2: On Yacy forum, people complain about bugs and no update. I also have found this: marginalia-search.com/
