Is YaCy something worth looking into? Apparently it's a Peer2Peer search engine. Their site offers a demo hidden away, but I'm not sure what to make of it. I got the impression that it can be used as a personal search engine for one's own bookmarks as well (once indexed), but self-hosting with Docker and stuff like that seems like too much of a hassle.

Their site:
https://yacy.net/

The demo:

The demo is timing out for me, but it was working earlier... Did I accidentally ruin it?

Actually nvm it's just incredibly slow now for some reason.

With all the SEO blog spam something like yacy seems like the only way to make search engines useful again.

Judging by the demo, at least insofar as I got it to work, SEO spam is still an issue. In fact, the front page was just a few links with thousands of tags cluttering the screen.
