Does anyone use https://presearch.com/ (presearch.com)

Browsing the web I came across this (meta) search engine. From the first glance, it seems promising and giving quite a good results to my searches. Definitely better than Google, Bing or DDG, which tend to be full of SEO/ads/AI bullshit these days. Does anyone use it?

It somehow implies it's open source and indeed there is github https://github.com/PresearchOfficial too, but I can't find any link from the presearch.com itself to it. It's just... IDK, weird?

Are you thinking of Stract? https://stract.com/

I don't self host, I use it as an option in Searx.

Yep! Wish I'd have seen your reply before digging though old posts to find that lol.

Is that remotely feasible on a homelab? What kind of bandwidth/storage would you need to run this thing and keep it up to date?

Oh, I am sorry, I have no idea. As I said I only use it through Searx
