I have built my own little #searchengine for fun, it uses a basic tf-idf search algorithm (and is probably really badly implemented), but can now actually find things!
Because of this I wrote a short blog post about it. You can find it here:

Creating my own search engine

Have you ever wondered how search engines like Google find stuff? At least I did so and what does a person with little time on hand and exams on the way? Begin a new project, exactly! Since I like writing Rust 1 I told myself: build your own search engine in Rust. At least the crawler and API. So I got to work and actually finished a basic prototype a couple of days ago and today I added displaying a description in search results. This is why I am writing this, most of the search is finished.
