Perhaps? I remember the article arguing more comprehensively why a different order would be beneficial, but maybe I am just misremembering

I once read an article about SQL and how reordering the sections of a query would make it more ergonomic for users (iirc things like specifying what you want first and then how to present it last, more like a pipeline). I searched many times over the years but have not been able to find it again.

Are there similar relatively simple methods or simd tricks for multi-way merges?

Sorry to hijack this thread, but too curious if you made any headway from your "Non-cloud voice recognition for home use?" post? Sounded like an interesting use-case.

+1 I appreciate your answer!

(Yeah the exact billing model is fungible/an example to get people to think in terms of actually willing to fork over money.)

Do you mean you might have a specific and relatively small set of videos that you would like searched, but at a much lower price point (e.g. 10k videos at less than $10/year)?

The only public search engine that I'm aware of using common crawl is ChatNoir.

Most searching (e.g. web, email, torrents) is based on ads, which works because of the utility to a huge number of people. There are many things one might in passing want to be able to search (e.g. quickly finding the location of particular book on your disorganized bookshelf, non-web text content, etc.) but don't have mass appeal to sustain ads revenue. And even many of those wants aren't worth paying a few dollars for let alone the cost of hosting search.

So does anyone in the HN crowd have a search-based itch they're willing to pay to have scratched that's not already handled by existing search products?

For $10-20 per month (the rough cost of middle of the road web hosting), what would you pay to be searchable? Your favorite niche vertical like your twitter network, full fidelity search of the glory days of Usenet posts, your bookshelf?
