maybe you could pull down changes on a daily basis? not a complete reindex but just updates that prune dead links and add new ones.
the problem is this would be completely useless for current events. but querying sites you use regularly, this could be an option. I often end a google search with modifiers like "wikipedia" or "reddit" or "stackoverflow". If I could store indexes to those sites offline that might be useful.

Or I could let someone do it for me; say Google or DDG. I don’t have time for such nonsense. I’m not going to waste time hosting my own version of Apple Music, when I could just use Apple Music.
