Recoll is not just useable for desktop applications, it can also be used as a local web search engine through recoll-webui [1] (link goes to my own repo which has some modifications to make it work with the Searx/SearxNG engine) which in turn can be used as an "engine" in Searx and SearxNG through the recoll engine [2] (which has been merged so it is no longer necessary to pull it from my repo). This last option makes Searx/SearxNG useable for all types of searches, both local as well as remote. I've been using this exclusively for many years now over a large collection of documents (about 600.000 entries) with good results.
