Whoogle Search for Open Source, Self Hosted, More Private and Less Ad Filled Google Search.
Whoogle Search for Open Source, Self Hosted, More Private and Less Ad Filled Google Search.
Whoogle Search is an open source, self hosted Google search with teh ads, and a bunch of other junk-ware, stripped out of it. It really brings you back to a top notch search experience with more privacy in mind.
I found this little gem while talking with Scott, and saw it on his dashboard. It really peaked my interest, and I’m so glad it did. You can check out some of Scott’s amazing blog articles on all kinds of self hosting, networking, and tech topics at https://discussion.scottibyte.com

Nice write up. I do like the dashboard you have there. I am using Heimdall but that one looks cleaner. EDIT: I found it..it’s called Homer.
Google has not been a search engine for years.. its a curated list of extreme left wing propaganda.
Like other your Videos verey cool And a beautiful, understandable and simple presentation… good luck and great job… ๐
Good stuff thanks
What are the security implications of running this on a reverse proxy with no login required? I’m just wondering what happens if someone stumbles across the url what they can do
Can this app has words filter, or customly add words to blacklist to block the search result sets.
This is fantastic. Always watch your vids and regularly browse your back catalogue for useful tools. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
Thanks for another great video and nice write up on how to do all of this. Always makes my day a good one, if i see you have posted a new video ๐๐
