I wonder how it compares with searxng. I do like that it's written in Rust instead of Python.

It's got a fully independent search index according to the README. SearxNG, LibreX, LibreY, etc. just takes results from multiple search engines and combines them.

Mh, but there are (were?) other search-engines where you could crawl the web yourself, I relember doing that for the lolz, can't rember the name, though.
