We are building machine learning products for a fixed weekly fee. We saw that search engines are the most requested type of product. Nowadays, with https://streamlit.io/, https://typesense.org/, or http://jina.ai/ (which are open source) and some coding skills you can build state-of-the-art quality search engines. 10 years ago a team of engineers was required for this. Some examples, You can search documents: https://pinksearchengine.link/example_search.html (code here https://github.com/kstathou/vector_engine) You can search webpages: https://pinksearchengine.link/example_search_web.html (code here https://github.com/typesense/showcase-recipe-search) You can search images, using textual queries: https://pinksearchengine.link/example_search_images_with_tex...

In Show HN: Building search engines with open source tech for $99
Some quick context: I was inspired to build this by this HN post earlier today [1]. So thank you glorf for making the recipe dataset available. Thought this would take me 1-2 hours to build, ended up taking about 6 hours - engineering estimates and all! > Details about the Tech Stack: The dataset has 2,231,142 recipes and is indexed on Typesense [2], an open source alternative to Algolia/ElasticSearch that a friend and I are working on. The UI was built using the Typesense adapter for InstantSearch.js [3] and is a static site bundled using ParcelJS. The app is hosted on S3, with CloudFront for a CDN. The search backend is powered by a geo-distributed 3-node Typesense cluster running on Typesense Cloud [4], with nodes in Oregon, Frankfurt and Mumbai. Here's the source code: https://github.com/typesense/showcase-recipe-search [1] https://ne
