majad.de - Next Generation Search Engine
Majad is estonian for house, patio. This is our motto, too. With our project majad.de SearchEngine we want to help others to find their right way in the web.
'Hell, I thought google would help!' now some would say
Nope! Our idea - or to say: nearly finished project - provides better results with less collected data as for example google or fireball.
But also with big amounts of data our software won't break.
Our ssoftware does only index those sites which are visited by users.
This is done be the majad.de - Next Generation Search Engine SearchEngineClient which has to be installed on the users workstation.
Once installed the client runs in the background and reads the cahce from Internet Explore and Netscape (at present these two only).
This data is stored in our database.
Our Bot will visit those pages to index the content.
At this time the site is scanned to see if it is a useful site or a site containing bad or illegal stuff.
If you now think "F*k, Spyware again" you are simply wrong. We don't save any information about the user like operating system, user files, IP or eMAil adresses. We are not interested in those things bt in the websites visited. So some statistics of visited websites can be created. Surely you could think that this will never work though you see the same PopUps every time. But we thought about that, too. Our Bot recognizes those soites using a subtle algorithm and marks them as spam.
We also thought of a possibility to rate sites so informative sites with less visitors are rated the same as well-visited sites are. On the one hand this is done by the search engine automatically but users can rate sites, too.
In our opinion free ressources shouldn't be wasted. So we are planning a freemail-service which should be completely free of charge.
Though this is a large project and we can't do it alone we are looking for programmers and administrators. If you'd like to join us contact us: jobs@majad.de.
We are looking for:
developers for
- majad.de SearchEngineClient (Browsercache and linux client)
- php-programmer for email.majad.de (very good knowledge about IMAP required)
- database design
- linux
administrators for
- mailserver
- webserver
- websites (News, eMail administration, etc)
There are lots of other jobs free, too, of course. But they are not that important right now. Additionally we have to say that we are preparing a contract/license for us and you to make career. But more on that later.
We are also looking for sponsors giving us hard- or software. We find a useful job for everything we get. (sponsoring@majad.de)
