I realize there is another topic about this, but it's about parsing the data - something that is now done on half a dozen individual platforms.    I want this topic to be about the actual search engine and interface.

In 1999 I wrote a PPC search engine with backfill from Google (which was paying $0.05US per search!)   In the market, clicks for certain medical or fashion terms were approaching the mid hundreds of $.  No wonder the market collapsed, but I did sell my patent to a company in Toledo, where I worked for a couple years.  My knowledge of search engines is now obsolete, but I still respect the value certain search engines provide. 

The community can rent a cloud box with GPU/AI hardware to build a natural language search engine for the bitcointalk content.  We don't need the highest level reasoning for search queries, so we can probably get a deepseek type response time for a few hundred a month, depending on how we limit search queries in the community.

Is there anyone that would be interested in working on this?  Do you know how to populating an AI model?    If we can find someone willing to do that, then myself and other archive provers like Loyce and NotATether can provide the data to populate.
