Can you share some examples of what it finds? As long as it is safe to post that.

I have an instance running for about 5 days+ with 1,300,000 docs. It's mostly huge amount of porns, some weird forums & lot of marketplaces.

There's still some good finds like a 'sysadmin' forum with huge amount of good posts & tips.

nice, what is actually needed to crawl onion sites ? i am not a go dev, would try it with scala/java

Just a tor proxy (socks) instance, and a HTTP client configured to use the proxy. Other than that nothing more than what a web crawler should have.
