🚀 Fastest Icon Search Engine 🌟

Welcome to the Fastest Icon Search Engine, a blazing-fast, serverless yet memory-efficient solution for finding icons from various sources. This project leverages cutting-edge techniques to deliver unparalleled performance in icon search and retrieval.

This project is inspired by react-icons

🏎️ Why is it the Fastest?

  1. Inverted Index Search Algorithm

    • The core of the search engine is powered by an inverted index, enabling lightning-fast lookups by mapping terms to relevant icons.
  2. Binary Index Compression

    • Icon data is indexed, compressed into a binary format, and passed to the client side, minimizing bandwidth usage and ensuring optimal performance.
  3. Low Memory Footprint

    • The client-side search engine parses the binary index, offering a highly efficient solution with minimal memory consumption.

🛠️ Built With

This project combines expertise from multiple domains:

  • Preact: A robust UI framework with React API but with way less memory and bundle footprint.
  • Buffers: Efficiently handle binary data for index compression and parsing.
  • NLP: Using inverted index search to optimize memory usage and boost performance.
  • Scripting: Automation and scripting expertise to streamline indexing and processing.
  • GitHub CI/CD: Automated pipelines for testing, building, and deploying the project seamlessly.

🎯 Features

  • Ultra-Fast Search: Instant results powered by a compressed binary index.
  • Cross-Platform Support: Works seamlessly across browsers and devices.
  • Scalable Indexing: Easily add new icon packs with minimal effort.
  • Memory Optimization: Designed for the lowest possible memory usage on the client side.

🌱 Early Phases

This project is in its early stages, and I’m actively working to:

  • Add support for more icon packs.
  • Fix issues and improve performance.
