Hister: A free & self-hosted personal search engine

I did see this but as a user, I would rather use terms that aren’t like “re-index” as if I disable automatic indexing, it never indexed it in the first place. Additionally, while I can exclude URLs, I do that at the search engine level (Kagi) so I wouldn’t do it here and it would be tedious to then have to go and remember that “I-Love-AI-Slop.org” is not a valid page. I’d rather create my own custom repository for searching versus the vacuum approach if that makes sense.
