Back when online learn-to-code courses like Codecadamy and Udemy were a fad, I remember that one of them (and unfortunately I don't remember which, and Google, ironically, turns up nothing) taught how to build a search engine in Python from scratch as a first project for complete beginners. I thought it had a reasonable level of complexity for this task.

You can still find search-engine-from-scratch courses on Udemy, complete with all the necessary algorithms [1].

was it udacity's cs101?


Yes! Thank you.


Incidentally, the first Google search result for

"introduction online cs course that uses Python the build a search engine from scratch"

is udemy CS 101

Even through my smartphone autocorrect mistakes of 'introductory -> introduction' and 'the -> to'
