I liked what stract.com was doing, but I feel like the maintainer ran out of funding to continue development. Maybe a good repo to look in for ideas?

Hosting a search engine is the second fastest way to get your IP blacklisted (second to running your own email service) The problem is that the data changes so rapidly that you need to scrape the entire web daily just to have a usable search engine
