This is fascinating! Any idea how it is implemented? Guessing it's using some open source search engine like Elasticsearch to build the indices/compute relevance in a centralized manner. Would it be possible to leverage the distributed nature of TOR to create a completely P2P/distributed version of this search engine? Relevance features like TF/IDF might be a bit challenging to implement, but it seems like it would be possible!
