I’m not suggesting that you have to use google for the originating search. But you would need to use CSE to index any content you wanted to search for later. Arguably you could do this with a new google account if you’re concerned.

A few years ago I would have been excited about this, but I personally won't be giving Google any more data unless I'm forced to. I'd love a self-hosted and local-first option, but either way I wish you good luck on your potential project.
