That sounds a bit like YaCy.[1] It is a program that apparently lets you host a search engine on your own machine, or have it run as a P2P node. I think the next step forward should be to have indices that can be shared/sold for use with local mode. So you might buy specialised indices for particular fields, or general ones like what Google has. The size of Google's index is measured in petabytes, so a normal person would still not have the capability to run something like that locally. Edit: In another thread, ddorian43 has pointed out the existence of Common Crawl,[2] which provides Web crawl data for free. I have no idea if it can be integrated with YaCy, but it is there. 1. https://yacy.net/ https://yacy.net/ 2. https://commoncrawl.org/ https://commoncrawl.org/
