Came across searchmysite.net (made by @michaellewis@fosstodon.org) the other day, and I’ve been thinking about launching an instance for Write.as. Basically, it would be your standard “search engine,” but only include results from “Public” blogs hosted on Write.as. Then as a user, you’d know you’re always getting some kind of personal writing / non-clickbaity results when you search there. It wouldn’t replace Google, but it might be the first place you go when you want to read something new and interesting.
It could even become the official search engine for Read Write.as — you’d search for topics you want to read about, essentially. And if it had an API, we could leverage it for a Write.as search feature (since it’s already indexing everything), to let people search their own blogs.
