How do you build a federated search index?
Also why? Searxng is a thing. I would argue search wouldn't need to be federated. Makes sense for social media, web is already connected.
Isn't searxng just a proxy for google and bing? Not sure how that "increases diversity" or "adds competition" or "improves search results"...
In fact it improves search results, when you have multiple search engines turned on searxng does some sorting or filtering thing and manages to filter out lots SEO crap and ads from search.
