Anyone building (or in this case, buying) a search engine takes a fight they cannot meaningfully make impact. 1. Privacy is a feature, not a platform. If the search engine cannot deliver better results than google or bing (a tall order) th

This was my issue, and apart of the reason I've been experimenting with this: https://django.curaffe.com I work a lot with Django and simply mapped out the ecosystem, and then put a search layer on top of it. If I can get a
