Tangential question. What do people use for search? What search engines provide the best quality to cost ratios?
Also are there good solutions for searching through a local collection of documents?

There's also google, which gives you 100 requests a day or something.
Here's the search.py I use
import os
import json
from req import get
# https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/controlpanel/create
GOOGLE_SEARCH_API_KEY = os.getenv('GOOGLE_SEARCH_API_KEY')
GOOGLE_SEARCH_API_ID = os.getenv('GOOGLE_SEARCH_API_ID')
url = "https://customsearch.googleapis.com/customsearch/v1"
def search(query):
data = {
"q": query,
"cx": GOOGLE_SEARCH_API_ID,
"key": GOOGLE_SEARCH_API_KEY,
}
results_json = get(url, data)
results = json.loads(results_json)
results = results["items"]
return results
if __name__ == "__main__":
while True:
query = input('query: ')
results = search(query)
print(results)
from duckduckgo_search import DDGS
def search(query, max_results=8):
results = DDGS().text(query, max_results=max_results)
return results
