I personally think this is insane, and I would love to know why it didn’t pan out. There are other interesting things in that article too.

Some of this stuff seems kind of suspicious to me. I am wondering if some of these people were bought out by larger companies behind the scenes, or something similar.

Thanks. I’ve been thinking about doing something like this for a while, and I was thinking that it could be a program that runs locally, scrapes the search result pages, re-ranks them, and then makes an html page and opens it in a web brows

In my experience google still seems to have the broadest collection, so I use it when I have a search that doesn’t return many results. Usually I use duckduckgo, but mostly out of habit. It has the same results as bing, and I’m dubious as t

I only skimmed the article, so I apologize if you already answered this elsewhere, but what was the search system? Was it a general web search kind of thing, or was it like a small thing for a specific website? How many documents does it in

So I’m pretty sure that you are making fake comments to try to boost this, which is behavior that I find unsavory. Is the actual website a scam though, or is it something neat that you actually put work into? Can you give me some interestin

You aren’t very good at making comments that don’t look like sock puppetry. At this point it’s becoming very silly

You posted this, and then one hour later three people who had never commented before all thought that this was an amazing product and expressed as much with single words. What an incredible situation.

In the “farewell” letter, the creator of searchcord recommends “Answer Overflow.” I haven’t tried it, but it’s opt-in so it’s probably a lot smaller than searchcord was. Also if you’re fine with building your own search engine, there is a d

Looks interesting. What were some things that you liked about the series?

You used to be able to add “&num=100” to the url of a google search, and it would show 100 results per page.

No problem. You might consider using data from the Common Crawl to boost your index size. If you get the extracted text files (called WET instead of WARC), they don’t take up much space. I have one from 2014 that has about 73’000 pages in i

That’s pretty cool. How many pages do you have in your database so far? Also since you are working on a search engine, I would recommend reading this article: https://archive.org/details/search-timeline

I found this article a while back, but I don’t know the details because I haven’t paid to read the article. You might be able to find more details on the same story from a different source, I don’t know. https://www.404media.co&#
