Sounds like a huge fucking waste of time and effort to me.

Another proposed token with 0 value...

Steem definitely needs  a search engine

...but not the type you are thinking of, we need to be able to search the steem block-chain.

There was this post i read, not long ago, that i wanted to link... but couldn't find it.  It should have come up because i searched a pretty specific word.. but to no avail.

Steemit should be able to go to a users page and give a tag cloud.  And then be able to sift by user and tag... but nope, we don't have anything like that.

We should also be able to search via "how old".
And then i would like to see filters for word count, photo count, vote count, comment count.

Anyway, i believe steemit needs a search engine.

But, i also believe that the steem block chain is set up in the worst possible way to search.

Just like presearch, the only downfall of presearch was it doesn't award the token. They hold it for a reason perhaps and claim it for the sake of account review.

It'd be a good start just to have a decent search function for content within steem

> When I look up furry hentai lesbian alien porn and it gets logged as an aggroed search that probably feels invasive.

It might actually be the opposite.   It might be fun to be the first person to search for furry hentai lesbian alien porn and be able to prove it using the blockchain.

Then you could confidently say ... "I was there first :-) "

Perhaps, a really brilliant idea and project to make that brings more people into space.

I like it!! I’ve been waiting for a working search engine!! I’ll be very happy to see this happen!!

Slapping steem engine tokens on everything is bad. Tokens must have a very strong use case to justify creating one. 

A search engine on a blockchain is a good idea don't waste it by requiring the integration of tokens. If you send tokens to everyone and all they will do is sell. The token will be worthless and no one will use the search engine even though it is useful.

These projects sound awesome!  I hope that the strides made in the past year in regards to development on the Steem protocol will start to attract more developers to it in order to see some of these through.  The potential is there but the marketability has to be enticing from some of these larger ideas.

That would be amazing!  I love your alien porn example.... lol

Thanks for the cite...although I think you switched the article linked. 

Here is the article you are referring to.

I think your idea great.  I always felt invaded by the fact everyone at Google knows when I search for furry hentai lesbian alien porn.  This is a way to offset it.

As for the main idea, why not do both.  Simply tell Matt that sleep is an overrated experience.  

Presearch is working on a project similar to that.  Dsearch (?) could be similar.  It is great to link the token idea in which aligns with our full incentive mission.  Get paid to search is amazing.  

I hope some take up your suggestion on this and put together a MVP.
