Gexsi: Self-Hosted Google Search Alternative

Open-source, self-hosted Google Search alternative focused on privacy, allowing you to index and search your own content without external server queries

What is Gexsi?

Gexsi is an open-source, self-hosted search engine that provides a privacy-focused alternative to Google Search. With Gexsi, you can index and search content on your own servers without having to send search queries to external providers like Google.

Some key features of Gexsi include:

• Open-source codebase that can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure
• Customizable indexing settings to control what content gets indexed
• Support for indexing a variety of content including websites, files, emails, chat logs, etc.
• Custom search UI similar to major search engines
• Search operator support for precise querying
• Access control to manage search access
• Integration with identity providers for access management
• Detailed analytics on indexed content and search queries

As an open-source project, Gexsi provides full control and transparency over your search activity. Since it's self-hosted, your content and queries never leave your servers. This makes it a good Google alternative for privacy-focused organizations or personal servers.

The main downside is that it requires running your own infrastructure to host the search services. So it involves more overhead than a fully hosted service. But for certain use cases where privacy and control are critical, Gexsi can provide an on-premise search solution.
