Roadmap
PriEco roadmap. Check out what's coming, vote on features and suggest new ones!
Spell checker
It is already available in PriEco, but it needs to be much more accurate and support every language that PriEco supports.
It needs to consider user's language preference, common QWERTY keyboard misclicks, understand the entire query to better infer its meaning and be aware of brand names to avoid correcting them.
Map widget
Now PriEco can detect intent of a query and see if it contains some place or business.
In such case it would be useful to show a map before 1st result in web search.
Search suggestions
When you type PriEco shows you search suggestions to ease the search
Initial provider would be DuckDuckGo, then PriEco gets own
Search shortcuts
Allows users to type ::
Ranking
PriEco needs smart ranking! Current one is a good base but lacks more intentional ranking signals. I've decided to study Google's philosophy and create PriEco's ranking based on those principles
PriEco won't become a copy of Google! Rather Google spent decades figuring out what really matters, and I want to teach PriEco it too
Crawling datasets
Resume crawling public datasets of web pages and Wikipedia.
IndexNow & Cloudfflare
Get PriEco verified by IndexNow and Cloudlare as a verified web search enginne to get unrestricted access to the entire internet and get updates about updated web pages
Lyrics
PriEco has a dataset of at least: 1.2M songs, 370k albums, 185k artists. This allows users to quickly search for lyrics, get information about the artist and show the album the song belongs to.

PriEco needs to know when it should show the products to not be annoying
Deep search 🔍
Use AI to get the meaning behind user query. Return PriEco results normally. Decide if they contain what user wanted. If not generate similar queries to the user one. Search them. Decide and continue. At some point stop and decide if we found what the user wanted. If not show them the closest option
PriEco Premium 💎
PriEco started as a meta search engine. My goal was to provide free access to a collection of web indexes to users. After many tries I decided it isn't possible and I shifted my focus to PriEco's own index. I still want to create a paid version of PriEco that gives you unified access not only to PriEco index, but to as many major indexes. Preferably to all of them
Theme store
A theme store based on CSS injection where users can create custom full features themes for PriEco and let others use them. Much much later if we find a secure way we could let even JS injections which could integrate these custom themes to a larger ecosystem of products. Such as wallpaper engines...
Interactive descriptions
A secure implementation would need to be developed. BUT! Let website developers to define HTML and CSS as their result description and PriEco would use that. This allows much more creativity, much easier identify which result to click on and adds playfulness
