What is Whoogle Search?

A self-hosted, ad-free, and privacy-respecting Google meta-search engine allows users to access Google search results without the typical intrusions of ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. This application can be easily deployed as a Docker app with a single configuration file, making it a simple and efficient replacement for a primary search engine on both desktop and mobile devices
