We truly stand on the shoulders of giants and this project would not have been even remotely feasible without them. An especially huge thank you to - The authors and contributors of Tantivy for providing the inverted index library on which Stract is built. - The commoncrawl organization for crawling the web and making the dataset readily available. Even though we have our own crawler now, commoncrawl has been a huge help in the early stages of development. # 💰 Funding This project was previously funded through [NGI0 Entrust](https://nlnet.nl/entrust), a fund established by [NLnet](https://nlnet.nl) with financial support from the European Commission's [Next Generation Internet](https://ngi.eu) program.
