Someone already gave an extensive comment about how to set things up so I will skip that part.

Good observation re: self hosting potentially reducing privacy. The way that I keep my privacy during self-hosting is to completely avoid search engines that track my IP address, and then, ideally, although the remaining search engines are less efficient than the likes of Google or Bing, the fact that the results are aggregated hopefully increase the efficiency of the results.

For my default searches, it uses mwmbl, mojeek & qwant
