Just made a PoC of a real-time Mastodon search engine.
https://masto.kukei.eu
It currently takes local timelines of just few instances, fetches it every minute and adds results to the index.
After 15 minutes items are purged.
Use case is to search through mastodon world on real time events, like some breaking news.
It honours "noindex" flag on users accounts, although I see majority of users have opt-out which makes it kinda less usable.
I'll look how it performs and iterate later.
