Is there a federated or open source search engine alternative?

There is SearXNG, it’s open source and decentralized but AFAIK the different instances don’t really share information between them. I’m personally interested in trying it, but I’m apprehensive about the fact that it’s really hard to know whether a particular instance is trustworthy, and while it’s possible I don’t think it makes much sense to host it myself.
