whoogle-search is a self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine. Get Google search results, but without any ads, javascript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile.

Whoogle is intended to only ever be deployed to private instances by individuals of any background (although public instances exist), with as little effort as possible. Prior knowledge of/experience with the command line or deploying applications is not necessary to deploy Whoogle, which isn't the case with Searx. As a result, Whoogle is missing some features of Searx in order to be as easy to deploy as possible.
Whoogle also only uses Google search results, not Bing/Quant/etc, and uses the existing Google search UI to make the transition away from Google search as unnoticeable as possible.
I have been using it for a couple of days and it was easy to install, configure, works reliable, gives good results and looks good.
