> I plan to make it do online learning

From what source? Do users need to worry about people gaming this to have ads show up in results?

Sorry, I agree that was confusing. Online learning is a term in ML for when you train a model incrementally over time. McFly won't connect to the Internet.

Ah, thanks for the clarification! To a non-ML person, this brought back memories of what Canonical was trying to do with search functionality on Ubuntu, by fetching ads over the internet to interleve in local search results.
