I’m thinking about making a search engine, anyone want to collaborate?
Could you give more information on this?
(Btw there is a googlesearch Python module that I have used on Colab following a tutorial to search items on Google. There isn’t a googlesearch package on PyPi, though, but the closest is pygooglesearch but there isn’t a search() function unlike googlesearch.
Can’t give too much info on this, as I haven’t developed anything yet.
This will completely be made from scratch (not the language lol). Python will definitely not be used.
Will it be completely written from scratch, like a specific word gives you self-written articles? Or… a selenium-based repl to search Chrome? Or a web scraper to scrape a search?
It’s gonna crawl sites, look for keywords and use an algorithm to rank pages.
Erm is that legal? How and what are you going to use for a crawler?
It’s legal, that’s how search engines work. I’ve actually already made a crawler, though it’s extremely slow and doesn’t have proper error handling.
Absolutely! Always wanted to learn more about crawlers & how to make search engines

Sure, would it be on Replit?
Sorry, I won’t be able to do it then. Sounds like a cool project though.

Sorry about this, but I’ve temporarily paused the project. The AMC tilde is down rn, so I don’t have anywhere to host. I’ll be coming back to this project in a few weeks, sry @QwertyQwerty88 and @NateDhaliwal .
