Google's search results without Google's surveillance: Whoogle is a self-hosted proxy that strips the tracking and keeps the results. Your query goes from browser to your Whoogle instance, which fetches results from Google with a randomly generated User Agent and strips everything hostile before returning them: no ads or sponsored content, no third-party JavaScript or cookies, no AMP links, no URL tracking tags like utm_source, no referrer header - and Google sees your server's IP, never yours. Unlike metasearch engines that blend sources, Whoogle proxies Google exclusively, so result quality is exactly what you'd get logged out and incognito, minus the noise. A lightweight Flask app configured entirely through environment variables, it supports DuckDuckGo-style bang shortcuts, autocomplete suggestions, safe search, per-country and per-language filtering, site blocklists, and automatic rewriting of social links to privacy front-ends like Nitter and Invidious. Privacy hardening goes further: built-in Tor routing makes Google see an exit node instead of your server, HTTP/SOCKS proxy support covers other setups, and POST-based queries keep search terms out of logs. Light, dark, and fully custom CSS themes plus browser search-engine registration make it a drop-in default on desktop and mobile. Stateless, tiny, and trivial to run.

Live web search plus an LLM of your choice: Farfalle is an open-source, self-hosted answer engine in the Perplexity mold. Queries route through one of several search providers - self-hosted SearXNG for a fully independent stack, or Tavily, Serper, and Bing APIs - and the model composes a cited answer from the retrieved results. Model flexibility is the core design: run llama3, mistral, gemma, or phi3 locally through Ollama for zero per-query cost and full privacy, use cloud models like GPT-4o or Groq-hosted Llama 3 for speed, or route to any provider via LiteLLM. An Expert Search mode uses an agent that plans a multi-step search strategy and executes it for harder questions, and chat history keeps prior research sessions available. The stack is a Next.js and shadcn/ui frontend over a FastAPI backend with Redis rate limiting, shipped as a pre-built Docker image. A browser search-engine entry pointing at your instance makes it the default search from the address bar. Paired with SearXNG and Ollama, the whole pipeline runs with no external API at all.

Up to 280 search services - Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant, Startpage - aggregated without tracking or profiling: SearXNG is a privacy-respecting metasearch engine (AGPL-3.0, successor to Searx). Your instance queries the upstream engines on your behalf: your IP address, cookies, and search history never reach them, tracker parameters are stripped from result URLs, and an optional image proxy fetches thumbnails server-side so result pages leak nothing. It can even route outbound queries through Tor for full anonymity. Search is organized into categories - general, images, videos, news, maps, music, IT, science, files - with bang shortcuts for targeting specific engines, and every source can be enabled, disabled, or weighted per category in settings.yml. A plugin system adds calculators, hash tools, tracker removal, and unit conversions inline, and preferences (themes, safe search, languages, engine selection) persist in cookies rather than server-side accounts. The real argument for running your own instance rather than trusting a public one is control: you decide the logging policy (none), the engine mix, rate limiting, and who gets access - making it the default search backend for browsers, families, and teams that want Google-quality results without the profile.
