Hello!  
Are there search engines that use elastic? Search Engines that are completely independent of the search giants (Google, Bing).

Welcome!

It seems (unsure though) that some parts of [https://www.qwant.com/](https://www.qwant.com/) are using elasticsearch.

Otherwise, a search feature powered by elasticsearch on some popular websites:

- [https://fr.wikipedia.org/](https://fr.wikipedia.org/)
- [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)
- [https://www.deezer.com/](https://www.deezer.com/)

To name a few...

These sites have an internal search.

Google used to provide enterprise search software. It was possible to add several hundred or thousands of sites and then get a search on these sites. Now this is not possible.  
Is there something similar now?

Yes. Powered by Elasticsearch behind the scene. Isn't that what you asked for?

not. I meant a little google 🙂  
As an example [http://gadget-search.net/](http://gadget-search.net/) But it does not use Elasticsearch .

I have to pay $ 30 for each domain. If there are 1000, then this is a very large amount.

So I guess you need to build your own solution.

I'm working on it. At this stage, I do not use databases. Everything is stored in small files (indexes, documents, ...). I am satisfied with the speed and quality of the ranking, but with the increase in attendance, I may encounter difficulties. Therefore, I consider elastic as the next step in the development of my product. Elastic is an ocean, before plunging into it, I must be sure that it will improve my product.
