Warp (Ocásek) Search Engine

A self-hosted private and anonymous metasearch engine, that aims to be more resource effichent and scalable than its competetion. Its scalable becouse switching instances when one just decides to not work/is under too much load is just inconvenient. So you can comfortably use officiall instance, or self-host your own instance.

Comparison to other search engines

Name Works without JavaScript Music search Torrent search API Scalable Not Resource Hungry Dynamic Page Loading
Whoogle [1] Moderate Not specified
Araa-Search [2] Very resource hungry
LibreY Moderate 200-400mb~
4get Moderate 200-400mb~
Warp about 15-20MiB at idle, 17-22MiB when searching

[1]: I was not able to check this since their site does not work, same for the community instances.

[2]: In the project repo they specify that it has API, but It looks like they are no loger supporting it. Or just removed "API" button and documentation, since I was not able to find it anymore.

Features

  • Text search using Google, Brave, DuckDuckGo and LibreX/Y.
  • Image search using the Qwant/Imgur.
  • Video search using Piped API.
  • Image viewing using proxy and direct links to image source pages for image searches.
  • Maps using OpenStreetMap
  • Files download using torrent sites.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Go (version 1.18 or higher recommended)
  • Git (unexpected)
  • Access to the internet for fetching results (even more unexpected)

Running the Application
