I am seeking feedback on my independent search engine project
Hello,
I’ve been working on an independent search engine project for a while now and would like to get some feedback.
The project’s name: https://synapicsearch.com
To briefly touch on the technical side: the backend is written entirely in Go (Golang), and I’ve focused particularly on performance and scalability. On the frontend, I’m using Vue.js. Currently, the system contains over 30 million indexed entries, and I’m actively continuing to expand it.
In terms of features, I’m experimenting with things that are a bit different from traditional search engines. There are personalisation options such as site blocking and the ability to boost specific sites to the top of the rankings. Additionally, there’s the ‘bang’ system, which allows searching across different platforms using shortcuts like !yt and !gh, and the ‘prism’ system, which filters results based solely on specific domains or extensions.
My aim is to create a structure that is simpler, less distracting, and allows the user to control their search experience.
At the moment, the backend is largely functional, but there is plenty of room for development in the frontend, user experience and ranking algorithms. That’s why I’d particularly like to receive feedback on these areas.
