Whoogle
-
I was taking a look at Whoogle, which already has Docker container support.
Get Google search results, but without any ads, javascript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile.

@jlx89 interesting. Would you say better than Searx (here in Cloudron App Store)?

From a UI perspective I like this a lot. I wonder how it performs compared to Searx. Also is it only pulling results from Google?

@atridad Yes, apparently it works by grabbing results from google and stripping all their crud and links away.

@timconsidine I think Searx dogpiles hits from Google along with several other engines.
How is YaCy going for you? I hope you are having fun with it.
Also, if you like the idea of Searx, you might like Presearch too:https://presearch.org/

https://github.com/PresearchOfficial@loudlemur I was running a few nodes and narrowed down what would work best. They basically lost me when they raised the requirement for PRE to run a node.

I'd really like this as an option too. Searx doesn't seem to work well under Cloudron. I'm not sure if the IP address is getting block or something's gone awry, but it's not showing Google, Bing etc results within searches.
Sometimes you just want Google results, without the adds and tracking, and Whoogle is that. It's also less of a leap of the imagination to get users that "just want Google" to try.
Not having these sorts of options too, is starting to get a bit awkward too. The idea of Cloudron, as I understand it, was always to offer more options than the closed-sources world - but when the Cloudron App store still has a high barrier to entry, and we need something like this, then I really don't look at Cloudron App packaging, I look at how we can just get an option running with vanilla Docker or VPS.
