my_search

Goal: Get personalized search results and cool features while having privacy.

How it works

Request will be sent to localhost, my_search will then get results from duckduckgo.com and/or any other online and offline sources, merge them and send the result back to the browser.

Run

$ git clone https://github.com/ansvonwa/my_search.git
$ cd my_search
$ cargo run

Install

make sure my_search runs always:

Linux: e.g. add /path/to/my_search &> /dev/null & to .profile
Windows: put my_search.exe in %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup folder.

Firefox

Go to ready.to and click OpenSearch plug-in my_search button. Check box to set as default and confirm.

Chrome

Go to settings, click add and enter "my_search", nothing, and "http://localhost:8080/?q=%s" and click add. Then set as default.
