Looking at DDG, and others, I started to wonder:</p> <blockquote> <p>Are there any community driven, open source, search engines currently running?</p> </blockquote> <p>After doing some searching, I couldn't find any. This struck me as odd considering there are number of initiatives out there from mapping (<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org" rel="noopener noreferrer">OpenStreetMaps</a>) to music (<a href="http://openmusicarchive.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Open Music Archive</a>) to human knowledge (<a href="https://www.wikipedia.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wikipedia</a>).</p> <p>Does this exist? And if not, why not? Is there any appetite for such a project?</p> google discuss search rfc
