I'm still working on a self-hosted search service called Hister with the goal to reduce dependence on online search engines.

Hister is a full text indexer for websites and local files which automatically saves all the visited pages rendered by your browser. It provides offline result previews, a flexible web (and terminal) search interface & query language to explore saved content with ease or quickly fall back to traditional search engines.

I've been using it for a few months and as my local index is growing I can avoid opening google/duckduckgo/kagi - and even websites listed in results - more and more frequently.

The initial reception is overwhelmingly positive with already more than 30 contributors and hundreds of contributions - perhaps you can find it useful as well. (Or at least have some constructive criticism =])
