Built a personal web search engine with automatic indexing of visited websites, result previews & optional semantic search

I'm 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 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 =]) The code is AGPLv3 licensed, available at https://github.com/asciimoo/hister , read-only demo: https://demo.hister.org/ , website: https://hister.org/ submitted by /u/asciimoo [link] [留言]
