Thanks for sharing, this is really impressive.

Can you talk a bit about your stack? The about page mentions grep but I'd assume it's a bit more complex than having a large volume and running grep over it ;)

Is it some sort of custom database or did you keep it simple? Do you also run a crawler?

I huge Lucene index for storage and search, with a custom crawler that I wrote myself. It's a fun engineering problem.
