  If we remove Yandex then Google has to go too.

  Honestly, I would prefer to build my own search engines if possible.

    It’s possible. Search engines are just big reference databases.
    They have crawlers that search the web based on links to each other and then save metadata about the pages.

    There are some projects already that you can use.

    The problem is the data, if everyone of us have to build it ourselves it’s going to be tedious, and more importantly biased to however you are scraping.
