Ah of course!

I guess one of the things the Google originally solved was that the internet if full of crap and not all sites should have equal weighing. With AI spam sites these days, you'd probably also need a method of weighting results?

We never got that far to test that kind of issue and while I've been reimplementing it locally to search through employment advertising, I'm not at a point where I'd be able to test such a thing.

The original implementation used a data store written by another team member and it made the original project much too complicated.

Today I'd likely use duckdb to implement it. My local version uses text files for a proof of concept implementation.

It sounds like a really cool project regardless!
