is YaCy. [wikipedia.org] It's not perfect yet but its promise is great. If you're not familiar with it or haven't tried it yet, please do.
And for fucks sake, use anything for search except google because privacy.

Yeah, I've got a YaCy node on my home server...the results are atrocious though. I had it set as the default search on my phone for a while, but ended up switching to DuckDuckGo.
Probably half the problem is my own fault due to poor configuration or something, but the admin pages kinda suck so far. There are a number of options where I simply can't find any explanation at all of what they actually do, so when I'm configuring the damn thing I don't entirely know what I'm configuring. RAM utilization on that box is always pegged at 100% too, so maybe I need to throw more hardware at it. But I'm betting my main issue is the crawler setup, since I can't seem to get one to index anything beyond a single domain...so they end up just crawling a few pages and then shutting themselves down. :(
