gollark: osmarks.net™ search engine™ plus™ will of course:- have working crawler logic probably- be faster somehow, as opposed to slower- use postgres FTS instead of a homegrown and not very good inverted index
gollark: So the crawler got links slightly wrong in certain situations and also it took 60 seconds to search anything.
gollark: It worked fine on osmarks.net, but then I ~~dug too deep~~ indexed half of the esolangs.org wiki without fixing some things (like redirects) and ensuring performance was okay.
gollark: As longer-time members have probably forgotten, there *was* an osmarks.net search engine.
gollark: Those are both what I said.
