In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · low confidence

Searching several engines means being tracked and profiled by each of them.

Use it when

When you want to self host a search front end that aggregates results and keeps no user profiles.

Not the right pick when

The readme defers all setup to the installation guide, so it provides no install steps of its own.

Capabilities

Aggregates results from various search services and databases
Users are neither tracked nor profiled
Installation guide for self hosting
Configuration guide for fine tuning
Translations managed through Weblate

Cost: Free and open source
