Looks cool. How would it compare to Amazon/Alexa search service? In theory they allow you to build your own search engine, but in practice you can't really amend their ranking formula and don't get access to the raw inverted index (with tf-idf statistics and such). Yahoo BOSS is in the same league.
Your service would be cheaper, though.
- jdrock 18y agoYes, in theory you could do something similar with AWS. However, you'd have to put in the work to handle all the complexities of parallel-computing and web crawling. We do that for you. And yes, our service is cheaper. We'd love to see developers using our platform to build some very interesting indexes based on innovative concepts.
