Self Hosted Search Engine – Take Control of Your Web Browsing

Please see https://github.com/aflin/Self_Hosted_Search_Engine for setup instructions.

Self Hosted Search Engine is a privacy-focused browser extension that saves the pages you visit to your own personal search engine—completely under your control. Paired with a self-hosted server, it lets you privately index and search any or every page you visit.

Key Features:

• Automatic Page Indexing
  As you browse, the extension saves pages you visit to your personal search engine, running on your own server.
• Search Your Own History
  Instantly perform full text searches of previously visited web pages using either the browser popup or your server’s web interface.
• Powerful Filtering
  Choose which sites to include or exclude. By default, the extension skips banking and major portal sites (like Google, Bing, Yahoo, ChatGPT), which you can fully customize.
• In-Tab Controls
  Each page displays a small, collapsible control bar that lets you manually upload pages, pause indexing, or switch modes.
• Manual Mode
  Prefer to curate what gets saved? Enable manual mode and index only the pages you choose.
• Advanced Options
  Optionally capture YouTube captions or index individual Facebook and Bluesky posts.
• Visual History
  Explore your history by date or domain. View a calendar and timeline of visits.

Setup Instructions

🛡️ Private by Design

All your data stays with you. The extension communicates only with the server you control, using encrypted connections. No third-party tracking. No cloud syncing. No data is sent to anywhere except your own server.

🖥️ Who It’s For

This extension is perfect for developers, researchers, power users, or anyone who wants to build a searchable, personal archive of their web activity—without relying on external services.
