Is there an open source and self hosted version of this that isn't tightly coupled to Algolia's server and doesn't send keystrokes to Algolia?

Isn't the Angolia backend just one of the possible 'sources' as they put it? You can easily add your own backend as a source I imagine

That is 100% correct.

This library does NOT send any keystrokes to Algolia, unless you configure it to use its services. This library is NOT coupled to Algolia's server, unless you explicitly configure it to.

And 1 nice thing is: You can add multiple sources to it, meaning you can search at the same time in various local and/or remote sources/servers and integrate all results into 1 result list with rich layout possibilities.

While this is true , some plugins like the query suggestions have a very 'Algolian' format and dont work ootb without writing an additional wrapper around the response as the format differs from the output of the main plugin
