#121. Is the index public ? 2. Any chance for a rss feed search ?
1. I'm not sure what you mean. The code is open source[3], but the data is, for logistical reasons, not available. Common Crawl is far more comprehensive though.
2. I've got such plans in the pipe. Not sure when I'll have time to implement it, as I'm in the middle of moving in with my girlfriend this month. Soon-ish.
[3] at https://git.marginalia.nu/ , though still some rough edges to sand down before it's easy to self-host (as easy as hosting a full blown internet search engine gets).

Thanks . What you answered at 1. is what I meant. I was looking for a small web dataset but cc is too big for me process .
1. Do you know any dataset of rss feeds that are not 100s of gbs ?
2. How does your crawler handle malicious site when crawling ?

1. Here are all RSS feeds known to the search engine as of some point in 2023:
https://downloads.marginalia.nu/exports/feeds.csv -- it's quite noisy though, a fair number of them are anything but small web. You should be able to fetch them all in a few hours I'd reckon, and have a sample dataset to play with. There's also more data at https://downloads.marginalia.nu/exports/ , e.g. a domain level link graph, if you want to experiment more in this space.
2. It's a constant whac-a-mole to reverse-engineer and prevent search engine spam. Luckily I kinda like the game. It's also helpful that it's a search engine so it's quite possible to use the search engine itself to find the malicious results, by searching for the sorts of topics where they tend to crop up, e.g. e-pharama, prostitution, etc.

On 2. I meant malware that could affect your crawling server not spams. And thanks for the data .
Re: Phrase matching in Marginalia Search
#16> turned up nothing but vietnamese computer scientists, and nothing about the famous blog post “ORM is the vietnam of computer science”. [emphasis added]
This points in the direction of the kinds of queries that I tend to use with Marginalia. I've found it to be very helpful in finding well-written blog posts about a variety of subjects, not just technical. I tend to use Marginalia when I am in the mood to find and read such articles.
This is also largely the same reason that I read HN. My current approach is to 1) read HN on a regular schedule, 2) search Marginalia if there is a specific topic that I want, and then 3) add interesting blogs from either to my RSS reader app.

Malware authors typically focus on more common targets, like web browsers. I'm quite possibly the only person doing crawling with the stack I'm on, which means it's not a very appealing target. It also helps that the crawler is written in Java, which is a relatively robust language.

Apologies for too many questions but resources on search engines are scarce . How do I visualize the link graphs or process them ? is there any tool preferably foss . Majestic seem to have one but it's their own .

#19Congrats Viktor. > The feedback cycle in web search engine development is very long....Overall the approach taken to improving search result quality is looking at a query that does not give good results, asking what needs to change for that to improve, and then making that change. Sometimes it’s a small improvement, sometimes it’s a huge game changer. Yes, this resonates with our experience
This comment felt like indirect spam, as it doesn't really contribute anything IMHO. The phrase "in our experience" implies they’re in the same business, and upon checking the profile, I found that aside from the bio linking to their own thing, most comments resemble (in)direct spam. Everyone has their strategies, but I really disliked seeing this.

Eh, I think it's always interesting to compare notes with other search projects.
It's a small niche, and I think we're all rooting for eachother.
