This is one of the main problems I have with my current search engine. The AI features partly use APIs from companies I really don't trust with my data (e.g., OpenAI).

Regarding the actual search engine: the server appears to use DuckDuckGo on the backend, which would be Bing. If I'd run this, I'd probably try to point it at a searx-ng instance or something.

It's now using searx-ng!
That's cool! Sad to see your post didn't get much traction...
