If you hate Google 2022, why not making your Google 2012?
Most of the source code of Google 2022 seem to be on Github separated (PageRank, MapReduce, Freebase, Graphd, etc.). Why isn't there no unified open source 2012 Google-like search engine?
Why following the same steps in the wrong direction?
When future search engines begin receiving feedback from users and ranking accordingly Google will become irrelevant.
To compete with Google you can’t just use their legacy tech (pagerank, mapreduce, etc.), you have to come with a better tech.
I don’t hate google but Google is not just search, it’s an ecosystem. OS, browser, email, search etc.
Wrt to Search,
Scale: Huge cost of infrastructure, data is privatize.
You could run a hobby scale pagerank but for searching web it would be a needle in a haystack.
They have competition like yandex, nacy, baidu but are not for English web and not open source
Running indexes and crawlers is expensive and google has monopoly power on monetizing them
I think that the next search engine is gonna be a service that has an advantage using a technique to identify quality content and ditching the rest, most of the internet is just noise.
I don’t have the resource to run a 2012 search engine. Even with the CommonCrawl dataset, it’s extremely expensive and also not environmental friendly.
