You can do this with Yacy right now, https://yacy.net but it's not great for results generally.

I have often wondered if something built on activity pub or like that would be an option allowing people to group servers with peers they like or trust. Its something I want to implement actually and may get around to doing one of these days.

Well for starters, one could implement the API to return ActivityStreams formatted responses. That would be a good start to being compatible with the fediverse and stuff while not going insane in implementing a full and proper ActivityPub service. Been there, done that, way better tool for "lower level" features.

That roughly what I thought. I’m not familiar with activitypub at all. I will probably investigate this deeper.

You see to have some knowledge in this area. Do you have any suggestions of places to look to achieve something like this?
