#3Thanks for putting this together.
I wonder, is Postgres a bit of a large DB if it's just a personal website search tool?
I'll have to give it a go. We need more tools like this.

#6Also worth a mention is Wiby.
"The Wiby search engine is building a web of pages as it was in the earlier days of the internet."
It's main indexing requirements are:
- "Pages must be simple in design. Simple HTML, non-commerical sites are preferred."
- "Pages should not use much scripts/css for cosmetic effect. Some might squeak through."
- "Don't use ads that are intrusive (such as ads that appear overtop of content)."
- "Don't submit a page which serves primarily as a portal to other bloated websites."

This is most definitely not the same thing. The indexing requirements are not "This site must be an independent or personal site", it's "This site must lean towards being a plain HTTP document".
The Search My Site, from what I can tell, has the goal of surfacing personal/independent websites, while Wiby has the goal of surfacing minimally styled documents.
Two different goals.

Sites are ranked higher when they have no ads. Fully open source.
That's a good starting point..
