Oh, you mean the bookmark import? You can specify the Hister server with the -u/--server-url flags from the command line. Check hister --help for more details

You can configure the server URL for the extension by clicking on the cogwheel icon on the extension popup or by visiting the extension's settings page. Servers/VMs are fully suppo…

Keep up the good work. If you allow a suggestion: implement an xpath or css selector engine (check searx as a reference), so you can quickly integrate quite a few search engines di…

Hi everyone, I am the original author of Searx. I'm working on a new search project, Hister with a similar motivation: reducing our dependence on external search engines while keep…

I like the idea. Could you share your RepoSearch app? Also, we have Discord & IRC channels, please join and start brainstorming.

I agree with you, but Bun was still something of a flagship project for Zig. It received a lot of attention, which indirectly helped Zig's popularity.

I was wrong to be upset this whole time that the rewrite would hurt Zig. This is one of those rare occasions when I’m glad I was wrong. Interesting insights.

We need projects like this. Automatically classifying the files is smart. I'm working on a similar application called Hister ( https://github.com/asciimoo/hister ). I should borrow…

Multiple users can use a shared instance and collect their indexed content in a central place. Hister has user handling and a "public mode" as well: https://hister.org/posts/public…

Thanks for the kind words =] There is already an ongoing discussion about the topic: https://github.com/asciimoo/hister/issues/387 The currently discussed solution relies on the br…

I accept donations ;) Hister has a built in crawler with standard HTTP lib and browser based backends, you can feed your link collection to it. Also, Hister supports importing your…

Hister stores only the text content of HTML/pdf pages. 1000 documents require around 80-100MB of storage and there is still plenty of room to optimize for storage space. I'm using …

It is possible. The automatic website indexing can be turned off in the extension and manual indexing can be triggered via the command line tool, the extension popoup or by hotkeys…

> What are the scaling limits, as far as you can tell in terms of how much can it hold before queries start breaking down or become too slow to be useful? There has been no stress …

Unfortunately mobile Chrome browsers don't support browser extensions, but our extension works well on mobile Firefox.

Sure, it cannot fully replace web search engines (yet), but it can reduce the dependence on these services more and more as your index grows. Hister is designed to support quickly …

Absolutely, this is a great example where Hister can shine. I started Hister as a proxy as well, but quickly switched to the current extension based approach, because intercepting …

In its current form it cannot handle this amount of data efficiently (and doesn't support powerpoint/excel/word yet), but this is a valid use-case, I've added a TODO item to experi…

Both are search engines, but that's all the similarity. Hister has a traditional crawler, but its biggest strength is automatically indexing browser tabs as those are rendered. Thi…

Ohi, I'm the original creator of Searx, but due to the limitations of the metasearch concept I'm not involved in the development anymore. My new search project is https://github.co…
