What kinda thing do you want to search? Text I guess? But there are search engines for images, gifs, video, all kinds of stuff.

I'm working at an open-source project that builds an AI-powered search framework [0], and I've built some examples in very few lines of code (for searching fashion products via image or text [1], PDF text/images/tables search [2]) and one of our community members built a protein search engine [3].

A good place to start might be with a no-code solution like (shameless self-plug time) Jina NOW [4], which lets you build a search engine and GUI with just one CLI command.

Hi thank you for your answer. Actually my original idea was to build it for something else rather than the web in particular. Can you please advice me on which masters I should pick between distributed systems , machine learning and theoretical computer science/algorithm if my end goal is this?

To be clear, Jina AI stuff helps with the search engine itself. Getting the data is another matter entirely, and pretty much outside of our scope (although we do provide some example datasets with Jina NOW, like artworks, music, etc)
