LeoSearch is the custom search engine I’ve written.
It has a couple data sources:
- A userscript that submits websites I visit
- A crawler written in Python with BeautifulSoup
- Another crawler that uses a headless Chromium browser with Chrome DevTools Protocol.
The front-end runs on AWS Lambda with a custom Lambda to WSGI bridge. All of the data is stored in ClickHouse.
The querying and ranking is done with SQL, everything runs in ClickHouse. The results are ranked using Okapi BM25.
