Cool. I've definitely had a desire for something like this in the past. It's mostly been filled by Evernote and its web clipper now. Any time I have a vague inkling that I might want a page again sometime, I clip it, so I can easily find it with a future search. (Often by accident since you can configure the clipper to show Evernote notes alongside search engine results.)
The downside compared to something like this is that it only works if I have the foresight to clip a page. But the upside is that I don't end up indexing all the crap I definitely won't want again, so it's easier to find things in the remainder.
- flippyhead 12y agoThanks. My hope is that the search is good enough that it doesn't matter how much is indexed -- you'll always be able to find what you are looking for. This is one reason, to start, I felt it was easier to index content server side..
- tempestn 12y agoOf course, there's no reason not to do both. A service like yours could catch anything that falls through the cracks with EN. If you could eventually create browser extensions like theirs that add results alongside search engine results, it might would help people rediscover pages they've used in the past.
