## What it is
Degoog is a self-hosted search aggregator that queries multiple search engines in parallel from your own server and merges results into a single ranked list. It is deliberately extensible, with engines, autocomplete providers, transports, themes, and plugins installed as extensions from git repositories via a built-in Store.

## Use cases
- run a private metasearch engine that doesn't track my queries
- aggregate results from Google, Brave, and Wikipedia in one search box
- self-host a SearXNG-style search frontend with a plugin system
- add custom search engines and !bang commands to my own search page
- scrape search engines through custom transports like curl or FlareSolverr when blocked
- expose my search aggregator to LLM clients via MCP
- search my Jellyfin library alongside web results

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, privacy-focused metasearch you can deeply customize with plugins and custom transports
- you need to aggregate many engines (including niche ones like media servers) behind one interface
- you want bang commands, result panels, and extension installation from git repos
- you plan to run a public or multi-replica instance with Valkey/Postgres backends

## When to avoid
- you want a zero-config search engine that works out of the box - it ships with no engines installed
- you need a simple hosted search without running Docker/Podman and maintaining extensions
- you require guaranteed production stability - it is described as a stable beta with possible inconsistent behavior
