Would you use: Completely private hosted search?

An idea right out of the latest edition of Unvalidated Ideas: Private hosted search (e.x., Whoogle) I'll summarize the idea real quick. Whoogle has a pretty straight forward value proposition: > Get Google search results, but without any ads, javascript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile. Here's the full edition just in case you want to read it yourself Would you use a hosted version of Whoogle, or even better a service that did all these things *and* distributed your search across different providers (ex. DDG/Bing, Ecosia, SearchMySite, IndieWeb)?

@ezzat Thanks Ezzat! I haven't actually *built* this, but I sure hope someone else out there decides to! :) In the meantime check out whoogle (you could self host it, or run it on your local computer today!) -> https://github.com/benbusby/whoo...
