I've been building a personal search engine in Flask/Python using Solr @ https://mitta.us/. Mitta runs on Google Cloud instances + AppEngine. The system uses a plugin and a headless Firefox + an image ML pipeline to extract meta data and text from pages to provide full text and object search. The system is currently command line driven from a web UI. Documentation for the backend system is at https://mitta.us/apiv1

Mitta provides methods to crawl, index, tag, filter and search various information over time.

My thoughts are that I will continue to work on this over the coming months to explore a few use cases for managing imagery for ML based business models, including analysis for time series data and bookmarking, such as we did at Loggly with system logs.

A versatile product oriented cofounder who codes would be useful in taking this proof of concept to market.
