The 80 line search engine isn't using any external deps though. It only imports collections, math and string, all in the standard library. Maybe it'd be more accurate to call it a search engine engine though. The crawler and interface aren't counted towards that goal, but they are obviously needed in some form, and the implementations presented add a bunch of lines and a lot of libraries.

But even then, those libraries aren't related to search engines. If we start counting generic dependencies like pandas and fastapi, we might as well start counting the millions of loc of the operating system needed to run this search engine, and the firmware in the network card. Maybe even account for the complexity of the hardware this is running on.
