PriEco: New open source web search engine

Thanks!

1. I have a good mental map of my codebase. I do try to make it as modular as I can so that possible issues are isolated. But, I don’t do much bug scanning. For a web search engine like PriEco it’s super important to make it very usable, mainly in terms of quality, as soon as possible to be competitive. I don’t think requests are crashing out (I don’t have a reliable data) and certainly the whole website doesn’t crash down. Better bug hunting would be beneficial, but I’m the only developer so until uptime is 100% with occasional rare small downtimes + 1st of the red days in UptimeRobot was planned, the second I honestly don’t remember what was happening. Maybe the 2nd was my fault but that wasn’t directly PriEco’s. To be honest all of the downtimes are either me messing up with PriEco trying to improve it or maybeeee rare internet drops. Status page
2. Yes, I mainly use it to brainstorm as it can provide some feedback on it + it helps me to write my thoughts down and for code snippets. I always read the whole code + improve it in case. But I understand that it is still a higher risk to introduce bugs. For vide coding in PriEco, the only entire feature was: https://prieco.net/stats as I just wanted to at least have the numbers. The page works as vibe coded. But I barely care about it. That said I am not certain enough in my code to be publicly proud of it. Yes, PriEco is open source under AGPLv3
3. What are your domains? Design, code quality, benchmarking… to better understand how you’re trying to help

Missing

• PriEco is one of the search providers for Uruky too.
  • There is that problem that most search engines don’t have a filter based on date. For me it’s because there isn’t a reliable way to determine age of html document online. So, PriEco stores date of crawling which is much less useful as PriEco’s crawler rarely manages to visit a web page the same day it was published (for now). It’s an issue of resources. But for later there are amazing “alliances” to which if accepted would tell me how is the whole internet updating
  • But! As it’s fairly requested feature, and I do store date of visiting pages, I can make a filter based on that
• Footer was designed by someone else. Personally I’d say overall design is good enough for now. If you’d want to improve it, even without pull requests (just html/css) I’d appreciate it. But I see your point, maybe I should do it soon too

I hope I don’t sound passive declining to improve your feedback. I just fully now prioritize index to server good results so that PriEco can be used by more people
