Other "personal search engines"

https://thesephist.com/posts/monocle/ written in personal language, takes multiple doc sources

https://apse.io interesting because it takes periodic screenshots and performs OCR

https://keminglabs.com/finda/ rust, fast, seemingly abandonded

I would like to have a personal search engine for the web. It should only index my content on the web (social media, blog post, comments on hacker news, etc...)

Orher personal search engines: locate and grep.

Recoll isn't just a personal search engine and it does all the things you mentioned and more. It is built on Xapian.

Does it OCR periodic screencaps? I.e. the subtitle text of something you're watching on netflix? There's no saved file to index.

If you have periodic screen caps saved to a folder then it can, however it makes more sense to make your own plugin to Xapian which you can do and share with Recoll.

iOS now OCRs all photos, wish there was a way to bulk export that text alongside the photos, https://9to5mac.com/2021/09/21/how-iphone-live-text-ocr-work...
