Is there a search engine that stores generic search vector information in a p2p fashion and allows users to search so that their local and then other people’s remotes get searched in that order?

Yacy is the only one I have heard of and I hear that it is terrible. I set it up myself maybe 20 years ago when I was still on dial up and it wasn't great, but I thought it was because of my shitty network and computer by who knows. I'm very interested in one, I have been using duck duck to but that is just a layer on top of Google afaik

which search alternative is this?
-
looks like Searxng
-
oh yep that’s the one, thanks!

Yep that is the one, but I customized which engines I get results from and decided that almost all major ones have sucked so I took them all out (the four horsemen, Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brace)

i use Kagi. its paid but it is so refreshing not getting ads and being able to tune the search results.
-
Looks interesting, I'm considering it

Maybe you should add brave search in the search engines that searxng use. I'm using it since almost one year and except for images I never had weird results
-
Oh and I don't know if qwant is really good for English searches since it's a French search engine(however it is almost perfect for french searches)

What am I looking at here?
The top result is the resume of the Unabomber for President political action committee UNAPACK
Why do you think that ended up as the top result?
Ah ok.
