>About Alexandria
Alexandria.org is a non-profit, ad free search engine. Our goal is to provide the best available information without compromise.
The index is built on data from Common Crawl and the engine is written in C++. The source code is available here.
We are still at an early stage of development and running the search engine on a shoestring budget.
Please contact us at -email- if you want to get involved, want to support this initiative or have any questions.
- waynecochran 5y agoBut what is different in terms of its indexing algorithm? The original secret sauce for google was the pagerank algorithm which was mathematically genius. Are you using a similar algorithm.
- josefcullhed 5y agoFounder here. We are using harmonic centrality instead of pagerank. But of course much more work needs to be done to make the search engine usable.
- Seirdy 5y agoI'm curious as to which reasons/tradeoffs were involved in the decision to use harmonic centrality, if you wouldn't mind sharing.
