Stract is an open-source web search engine written in Rust with its own independent crawler and index, built on the Tantivy inverted index library. It targets tinkerers and developers who want a customizable, self-hostable alternative to commercial search engines.
Use cases
- run a self-hosted web search engine
- search the web without big tech trackers
- customize search result ranking with optics
- use bang syntax to redirect searches to other sites
- find sites similar to ones I like
- build a search index with my own crawler
- de-rank websites with third-party trackers
When to choose
- you want an independent, open-source search engine you can tinker with
- you need self-hosted search with customizable ranking signals
- you want advanced query syntax like site: and intitle:
When to avoid
- you need a turnkey hosted search API without running infrastructure
- you need a small embeddable search library rather than a full engine
- you expect Google-scale index freshness and coverage
