What is seekseek?
SeekSeek is a search engine project. But instead of being one general search engine, the goal is to build many smaller, highly specialized search engines with specially designed search interfaces, to work optimally for the specific kind of information you're looking for. The focus is on types information which are currently hard to navigate.
There is a common philosophy to all of these search engines: they must be fast, free of clutter, free of advertising and sponsored placements, with an openly available dataset and codebase so that anyone can replicate the work and improve on it.
The first, and currently only, search engine on seekseek is the datasheet search engine, which lets you find datasheets very quickly by entering a model number - it finds results as you type, and directly presents you with a download button.
Most search engines on seekseek will be scraping data from many different sources, with custom-made scrapers to ensure data quality. In the future, there will be a mechanism for people to contribute their own data to an open dataset.
The next planned search engine to implement, is a price comparison engine. The work on this is still in progress, and if you know of sources for price feeds, please contact me!
