Very nice work!
I see the engine is a single #python script that connects to a #PostgreSQL db.
Both are cool technologies but require quite a bit of technical expertise to be self-hosted.
Over the years I've seen that projects based on less cool technologies (php, cgi-bin, sqlite...) enable both #selfhosting and #SAFEhosting, that is using cheap, local, non #BigTech hosting providers.
It's something I realized reading free software based on the #permacomputing values.
Not really a suggestion or a feature request (maybe a note to myself, for a fork when I'll have more free time), but something I think you might consider.
Another one: it would be cool to

Another one: it would be cool to enable a sort of federation among the instances, either by simply proxying the trusted instances (and excluding the duplicated urls) on user's search, or by enabling trusted #fediverse users to add websites to be crawled.
"Trust" here is a key concept: federation should be optional and disabled by default.
Anyway: good luck and good work!
And thanks for using a network #copyleft!
(I prefer the #HackingLicense over #AGPLv3 in the age of #GitHubCopilot/CopyALot, but at least AGPL protects the work you donated to the world from direct privatization...)
