@Ketan-fullstack & @jrussbowman Good luck with your projects. I sometimes wonder if us independent search engine developers should set up a discord or something to chat about what we're doing, because there are quite a few of us working on similar (but not necessarily competing) things.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am partially indexing on my own but as of now mostly relying on Bing API.

Yes, the number of tags and their quality is an issue. The current keyword suggestion algorithm will get better as more and more people use it.

I would love to checkout your search engine if you have a link handy

Thanks, I just got back to this thread and you already linked it for me :) I didn't want to risk being seen as hijacking a thread.

Bing is the only search engine that still has a useful public pay as you go API.

Though Startpage claims to be backed by Google, so it must be possible to get a contact with them.
