for my part, i begin to work on the core of a future Alias search engine (index + request tools) implements in java . I think it could be interesting to have a query tools allow us finding alias and URI associate. In a second step maybe we can implement a more sophisticated crawler (tags ans metada of URI ) . what the forum think about this project ?
That's interesting, do you plan to use Lucene/Solr, Elasticsearch, or write something from scratch yourself? Long term we may indeed need a search index within the Nxt core, as the blockchain grows too big to load all in memory and we keep adding more stuff to it that we need to query fast (like aliases).
