PriEco Quality Benchmarking

Helou! There is a lot of work being done on PriEco these days. I’m trying to polish it all up, speed it up, improve Recall…

I think enough has happened to update you again

1st Spell checker

This is still a work in progress to improve accuracy and support more languages, but it could be helpful It’s a part of the effort to understand the meaning of your queries Question : As PriEco trusts you, it searches for what you typed and only suggests “Did you mean…”. Other search engines spell correct your query, and you have to click on “Search instead for…”

I certainly won’t be doing this until the spell checker is solid, but would you like it this way?

2nd Migrating databases Current index is pretty bad, it’s slow and takes up a lot of storage. But the idea is right. It’s my effort right now to improve it. I’ve finally found likely an amazing database I could store it in. I’ve already migrated results metadata (titles, descriptions, urls…) to this new database. Not only it shrunk this part of index 234GB → 158GB, but it’s at least twice as fast. At this moment it’s migrating the largest part of the index. It is 809GB large, will see where it gets

Future

The next goal is a keyword matching part of the index. Besides speeding it up I’ll be adding language, location, and date. Know that date isn’t yet most reliable in PriEco, because PriEco is now solely growing the index, not updating and rarely PriEco manages to visit a web page during the same day it was published, but it could be still useful

While I will be improving this part of the index I’m thinking about adding support for this Brave search/Kagi feature

As Brave search Googles are open source, I could just support their syntax and their ones would automatically work in PriEco too

Just know that PriEco is improving crazy fast, and I have trust that soon it is going to be very usable web search engine
