[Question] Is there a selfhosted Lemmy scraper/aggregator? (lemmy.ca)

A common Google "hack" to get actual results it to add "site:reddit.com" after a search term--Lemmy, however is spread across a ton of instances. I was wondering whether there's a selfhosted search engine that is able to index lemmy posts from a certain number of instances (set manually) and that can be used to search for certain terms--is such a program being worked on? Or is it best to simply use the lemmy search bar on my instance?

As a matter of fact, I remember seeing this project posted about a bit ago: https://github.com/marsara9/lemmy-search

It can be selfhosted with docker or you can use the hosted version at: https://www.search-lemmy.com/
