That is a great idea, I will roadmap it. Thank you!

Thank you! Both, I use common crawl as the bulk, but it has long delays so I need to crawl myself too. I'm planning on upgrading my own crawling capabilities but not yet ready since it will require an investment. I also have plans to have a smarter crawl system which I may implement in the next half year.

Thank you, I appreciate it. For local pages I do have that planned, it will take a bit of time to make a native local index due to many problems such as businesses closing and not reporting it. This is one area that Google has such a strong advantage - user submitted content - and one I would need to find a way to automate. I have various plans and maybe one of them would work. The other option is to outsource it to an API, at least to buy time.

Thank you, I will check for errors re the time out. This is just the type of feedback I am looking for. Regarding the overall speed, I have a plan but it won't be easy so it could be a few months to tackle the single biggest issue. Much appreciated!

There have been times when I loved and times when I absolutely hated Yandex. That being said, I am not going to disown everything associated with Russia. Also they are distancing themselves. It's far from perfect but the more independent indexes the better even if you disagree with those particular indexes.

I am so glad for this. I feel like I have never ever actually used any Leet Code style solutions (or encountered problems in the same vein) in my professional career. I am a principal engineer and I feel like I generally perform poorly on these. Readability and organization is key!

Yep that's pretty much my take on any scientific article. It's really hard to tell which of these things you'll hear about 10 years down the line.
