If they'd built it on top of elasticsearch I'd agree with this sentiment, but given the actual search engine bit is implemented in those 80 lines, I think it's fair. The libraries being pulled are exactly the sort of libraries you shouldn't try to hand-roll.

(sometimes you see those articles like 'built your own search engine' and it's a guide on how to install searxng or yacy or something.)
