What if I told you there is a Privacy-focus Search Engine that is run by you?
Yep, it's true! You can self host your own Search Engine and it's free!
SearXNG is a metasearch engine that use all metadata from multiple different search engines like Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, etc. All your traffic will be hidden when searching your results.
There is 1 con. That is you do have to self host your own by using Docker. But the good news is. There are many people self host their own SearXNG instance and it's available to the public for Free. Using someone else instance is a great start to get your feet wet before self hosting your own.
Here's a link to all SearXNG Public Instances.
