We've spent the last 6 months building a new search engine specific to cryptocurrency websites, and wanted to get some feedback on our alpha:
https://amuletplatform.com/data/Currently we're indexing 24M+ posts across Bitcointalk (english boards) and Reddit's biggest crypto subreddits. We're working on adding Telegram, YouTube, and Twitter.
We think we can do a better job than Google for the following reasons:
1) We index faster than Google (on average we index new posts in less than 10m).
2) We rank results based on the poster's history (e.g. if our algorithms detect users who shill or post low quality content, and rank them lower)
3) We detect coin names in the search result and show additional information about a coin (e.g. Bitcointalk announcement post, Telegram, etc.)
Give it a try and let us know what features you'd like to see. We're still fixing a lot of bugs, so the system is very stable yet.
This search engine is absolutely amazing. Please do add a few more sources, as I could see this site easily being one of the most used to research all kinds of blockchain projects and upcoming coins. It reminds me a lot of
https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html, which is often used to search for company filings.
A few general tips for the search engine: There might be better algorithms for which posts you choose to show to the user. Some of the posts that I see when I search up for a very common term like "bitcoin" seem pretty useless. I understand how the general site should and can be used for altcoins and ICO's, but I think that could be a great start.
Definitely keeping your ANN thread in my sight.
Definitely- we need to improve the result for common keywords. The search was initially designed for altcoins, but many people will probably start by searching "Bitcoin."
