Build your data-driven search engine website

Building such a system can be done, but itʼs a daunting task. By our calculations, for a mid- to large-size retailer trying to build its own high-quality, Solr-based site search engine, it would take 30 to 40 engineers as long as two years. Thatʼs obviously a tremendous investment of both time and money.

How do private search engines make money? Many private search engines use the same business model as mainstream search engines to generate revenue. Advertising: The top few search results are likely to be ads, no matter which type of search engine you use.

Advertisers pay search engines to display sponsored results when users search for specific keywords. These ads typically appear at the top and/or bottom of Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) and are labelled as ʼsponsoredʼ or ʼadʼ. Search engines get paid based on the number of clicks these ads get.

If you want to build a search engine like Google (with a decent search quality), we would say it might cost you about $100M (for the prototype) including costs for servers, bandwidth, colocation, electricity and so on. Maintenance costs for the existing cluster may go up to $25M per year.

A data-driven website is one that relies on customer data to make decisions about how to design and market the website. The goal of a data-driven website is to create a more customized user experience, using customersʼ past behaviors and preferences to influence future interactions.
