I agree. If you use the AUR, you're essentially no longer running Arch Linux but your own private fork of Arch Linux.

Have you considered adding Google’s SERP to your indexes (via some third-party provider)? Google’s index is by far the largest, and my impression is that a search engine is hardly useful unless it includes Google’s results.

It's a pretty common technique to maintain healthy boundaries, similar to how most employees don't use their private computer for work nor vice versa.

Until you realize that Kagi only works well because it uses a (paid) third-party API which behind the scenes does a classic Google search, scrapes its results in real time, throws out the ads, and then returns the cleaned-up results. If Goo
