Interesting. I had some interests in building a search engine myself (for playing around ofcourse). I had read a blog post by Michael Nielson [1] which had sparked my interest. Do you have any written material about your architecture and stuff like that? Would love to read up.

Holy, thats a huge codebase. Github even shows no code/syntax hl for many cpp files because they are so big.

I fiddled around and searched for some not so well known sites in germany and the results were surprisingly good. But it looks really... aged.
