For $50M the investors didn't buy 100% of the company. They bought something around 10% (assuming the valuation was $500M)

Congrats, carsabi! I know I've spent too much time screwing with craigslist' crappy search. I just wanted to search across every craigslist in the US for a certain (rare) car. I had to setup like 200 RSS feeds to accomplish it.

I remember someone pointing out your AudioGalaxy server cluster at the north austin datacenter (I think it's the one that became SunGard). I just said "wow". You still in Austin?

These are good points. Solr/Lucene tuning is an art, so much so that some search consulting companies charge tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars for these services. That's the value proposition of Searchify's hosted search - if you

There's no formal relationship, although I have met several of the IndexTank guys and they're a cool group. And Searchify is based on the IndexTank open-source project.

I'd love to have them try out Searchify's hosted search and see how fast it is. The key to fast search is RAM, which is why we run our search indexes from RAM (not cheap), and most queries are served within 100ms. If you're the author of

We are running the IndexTank open-source project. We link to those white papers on indextank.com - we plan to either update those white papers or remove them. thanks for pointing it out

Sorry about that, I see what you mean. Wasn't trying to mislead, I just suck at titles :)

I'm interested in more info on your linux TCP tuning, especially how you decided to tcp_tw_recycle and tcp_fin_timeout (and how you decided setting the former to 1 is safe)

What would be cool is another column containing the number of months after which it makes no economic sense to stay with on-demand pricing, even if you never use the instance after that point. In other words, "if you're going to use this i

Most interesting answer, in my opinion: "Mr. Ferdowsi: The problem that we're trying to solve is a problem that only an independent company can solve. We want to let you use a Mac, or Windows PC, or iPad, or Android, without having to think

You're correct - the current search only searches the titles. This is one of the most common complaints, and one that we would love to help reddit fix. One challenge is there are 5 to 10 times as many comments as there are threads. So a

I'd love to hear your ideas for improving search. IndexTank improved reddit's search greatly when they took it over, but IndexTank is shutting down in one month. At Searchify, we would love to power reddit's search, and are willing to spe

Hopefully constructive criticism here: I've looked around your site, and I'm still not sure what you offer. I've figured out that you offer APIs, but APIs that do what? Push messages (urban airship)? Search (indextank, searchify)? Geost
