This is the first time I heard about self hosted search engines. What is the benefit of using this over something like duck duck go?

AFAIK, it is an aggregator. Meaning: you can pick and choose between search engines (google, bing, …).

If you make your instance public, you make it harder to get profiled, since your search behavior can’t be analyzed as easily.

Last but not least: You don’t have to trust any search engine company.
