LLocalSearch is a self-hosted search aggregator that uses locally running LLM agents to answer questions with web-sourced information, showing live agent progress and cited links. It requires no OpenAI or Google API keys and runs on modest consumer hardware.

Use cases

  • search the web privately without sending queries to Google or OpenAI
  • ask a question and get an LLM-synthesized answer with source links
  • run a Perplexity-like AI search engine on my own hardware
  • watch the agent's reasoning steps and tool calls live while it researches
  • ask follow-up questions about a previous search result
  • self-host an AI answer engine with no API keys

When to choose

  • you want private, local AI-powered web search without API keys
  • you have a consumer GPU and want to run everything yourself
  • you value transparent agent logs and cited sources over black-box answers
  • you want a mobile-friendly, self-hosted search UI

When to avoid

  • you need a actively maintained project - the public version has not been developed for over a year
  • you need production-grade reliability or chat history features
  • you have no local GPU or hardware to run LLMs
  • you want the best answer quality regardless of privacy, using frontier cloud models
