Hister - A private, full content search index that you control
Hister, a new project announced on Lobsters, positions itself as a private, full-content search engine that users control. According to the source, Hister 'turns the pages you visit and the files you keep into a private, full content search index that you control.' The project's website, hister.org, describes it as 'Your Own Search Engine' and provides a quickstart guide for users to begin. The source text does not include technical details such as the underlying technology, installation steps, or performance characteristics. The announcement is brief, focusing on the core value proposition of privacy and user control over the search index. The project appears to be in its early stages, with the website offering a 'Get started' button linking to documentation. No pricing, licensing, or specific features are mentioned in the provided excerpt.
Hister offers developers a self-hosted, private search index alternative to cloud-based search services.
