CoopSearch
This isn't anything new but, I wanted to re-share my project, CoopSearch, a self-hosted search engine built on the SearXNG platform. I moved it from a subdomain of Cooperserver.com over to its own domain (CoopSearch.com).

For those that don't know or haven't used it, essentially, it's a search engine that keeps your searches private, gives you results from a variety of sources (you can set which ones), and doesn't track you. It's a search engine, aggregating results from Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave Search, and over 70 others, all while protecting your privacy.

CoopSearch doesn't track your searches or share your IP address. It acts as a middleman, anonymously fetching results from other search engines on your behalf. You also benefit from a wider view of the web by seeing results from diverse sources, not just one dominant search engine. CoopSearch is built on open-source code, meaning anyone can see how it works and contribute to its development.

SearXNG (the platform CoopSearch is built on) also has a great user handbook and non-bot chat channels if you have any questions.

Happy searching!
