       I always like the idea of making my own small search engine. Something simple, like http://wiby.me,  for finding personal blogs, open source software and communities. Any idea on how to implement it? I have a few ideas on how to implement the ranking algorithm and some of the code needed in the back end(storing data, API) and the front end, but more complicated things(like doing the actual search, looking for metadata in HTML), I'm not sure how to do. Any help?

       @cristiioan maybe you can take inspiration from other similar search engines, lieu comes to mind https://github.com/cblgh/lieuIt doesn't have the same purpose as yours, but you may find their code useful.I like the idea of such a search engine, good luck.

       @werwolf Thanks. That should be what I need, and I can learn how they do it very easy for my own search engine.

       @cristiioan @werwolf check out searx and the fork searxng.I do actually plan something similiar but havent have time yet to set it up.Also need a new ssd for that as the data needed will be pretty intense, even if the scope is very limited for me.My idea was not to scrape content "randomly" but open a community of plugins for popular websites.

       @Anachron @cristiioan SearX/SearXNG is a meta search engine. This meams that it doesn't index pages at all. They query other search engines and combine the results.

       @werwolf @Anachron I use searxng, so I don't give data to google, but as @werwolf said, is not what I need
