The system can be self-hosted, allowing individuals or organizations to run their own private search instance with full control over configuration and data handling. It supports extensive customization, including selecting which engines to query, filtering content, and adjusting ranking or display behavior.

OpenSearch
Open source distributed and RESTful search engine
OpenSearch is a distributed search and analytics engine based on Apache Lucene. After adding your data to OpenSearch, you can perform full-text searches on it with all of the features you might expect: search by field, search multiple indices, boost fields, rank results by score, sort results by field, and aggregate results. Unsurprisingly, people often use search engines like OpenSearch as the backend for a search application, think Wikipedia or an online store. It offers excellent performance and can scale up and down as the needs of the application grow or shrink. Its distributed design means that you interact with OpenSearch clusters. Each cluster is a collection of one or more nodes, servers that store your data and process search requests. You can run OpenSearch locally on a laptop, its system requirements are minimal, but you can also scale a single cluster to hundreds of powerful machines in a data center. -
