    I find the amount of engineers who have built an “alternative to google on their spare time” truly fascinating. Because if you think that is possible, IMO, you have no idea what Google actually built.

    Its just not a search engine, and also, as a search engine, it stopped being a good model to follow a decade ago.

    Build on the ideas and build something new instead
