Nice to see search projects are still popping up. After a move, family life taking over and me getting more interested in Unreal Engine, my poor search engine is now more of an experiment in seeing how well it runs while basically on life-s

I just used postgres to build my search engine and it also helps with the last 2 questions. Keeping the content context consistent helps with the first. Unscatter.com for example is content shared only in the last 30 days. Helps with keepin

I've seen some people use () and other syntax on the stable diffusion subreddit. I've been trying to find a guide for the syntax but haven't had much luck with Google. Is there a resource for this?

If we're adding our own, https://www.unscatter.com is mine. It's focused on the news vertical rather than general search. It's not monetized but it's also only costing me less than $50 a month in hosting and

"Want to become rich? Make a search engine which indexes the fresh relevant data from the big siloed websites, and ignores the general dead Internet." Did that to some degree. Unscatter.com pulls from reddit and twitter to source

It's been the same for unscatter.com for years but I've always attributed to that to me not having a real marketing strategy or even sticking with the ones I've tried to start.

So if anyone is following this, right now it appears that not many Kanye stories are bubbling to the top. It's simply not in the top 100 of the top 100. For the full 30 day index, checking just on Kanye in story titles, this is all I h

I get the top 100 posts from the top 100 popular subreddits for the past hour (as defined by reddit). I then do some basic filtering on subreddits to exclude a few that are often in the top that I find are either mostly text or media conten

Manipulated or not, I do agree it's an echo chamber. I added Twitter in attempt of breaking the echo chamber aspect but wasn't as successful as I hoped. I do occasionally look for other sources to add but finding similar sites tha

Right now the terms are available only via the word cloud. I have considered trying to put together an api and also keeping more metrics about each link. For example how many times it's popped up, reddit and twitter users that posted i

I built https://www.unscatter.com using Reddit to source links for the search index. Last year I added Twitter as another source. I don't think it's a "better" search engine. It's a different lens throug

My 14 year old daughter managed to find it by herself through her friends. I've only really ever used it to find nice wallpapers but my daughter is a pretty talented artist and she loves the site.

Postgres is really just great for being able to build just about anything to get that first viable product built. It's basically the swiss army knife for anything data in my opinion. You got sql, nosql, job queues, full text indexing.

Thanks, I just got back to this thread and you already linked it for me :) I didn't want to risk being seen as hijacking a thread.

Good luck with the project. Out of curiosity are you crawling and indexing yourself or using a search api? It's really fast, I like that. The amount of tags to choose from is a bit overwhelming. Hope you get good responses here, the co

Some of this stuff is chicken/egg too. A lot of times things are built, someone else points out the security risk and then the tasks to make it more secure are grafted on to it.

I assumed it would. But I'm thinking socket.io would provide better client support and have been looking at meteor as a way to get something built fast. Going Roth a prototype first as I have a lot less time to do this stuff these days

if I had to play a hunch, name based virtualhost settings got messed up. Or a proxy/caching server not handling hostname passing correctly.
