Hello, Steemians!
Over the past month, I've been building a new search engine that indexes the steem blockchain. It's currently live at asksteem.com. The goal of AskSteem is to provide a reliable, powerful, and fast search engine that is optimized for steem. In this post, I'd like to cover some of the features that are available.
Query Syntax
There are many different ways that you can query the AskSteem index. I've created a video demonstrating each of them, but you may also read their descriptions and examples below.
Keyword/Phrase Search
Like many other search engines, you can search for general phrases and terms. AskSteem will try its best to find the document that is most relevant to your query based on our ranking algorithm.
Example Queries:
Tip: Click the example to go to that query on AskSteem
How to buy bitcoin
What is steem
Markdown tutorial
Exact Search
Putting a query into quotes requests that AskSteem only returns documents that have exactly that phrase in that order.
Example Queries:
"How to buy bitcoin"
"What is steem"
"Markdown tutorial"
Tag Search
AskSteem allows you to filter posts by tag.
Example Queries:
tags:life
tags:steemit
Author Search
You can filter posts by the author too.
Example Queries:
author:thekyle
author:abit
author:steemit
Creation Date Search
AskSteem provides a highly flexible and powerful date search tool for posts. You can search by exact date or by date range. Dates must be in the form of YYYY-MM-DD.
Example Queries:
Search for all posts posted on June 2, 2017
created:2017-06-02
Search for all posts posted between May 1, 2017, and May 31, 2017
created:[2017-05-01 TO 2017-05-31]
Search by Number of Votes/Comments
Similar to dates AskSteem has another set of robust tools that allow searches based on the number of upvotes or comments a post receives.
Example Queries:
Posts with 150 votes:
net_votes:150
Posts with between 100 and 150 votes
net_votes:[100 TO 150]
Posts with 50 comments:
children:50
Posts with between 40 and 50 comments:
children:[40 TO 50]
Posts with more than 50 comments:
children:>50
or less than 50:
children:<50
this also works with votes, less than or equal to 10 votes:
net_votes:<=10
Searches with Boosts
You can prioritize certain parts of your query with boosts. These are indicated by placing a ^n at the end of a term, where n is the power you want to boost that part of the query to.
Example Queries:
Give the term bitcoin a boost of two:
I really want posts to have the term bitcoin^2 in them.
Give the term mine a boost of two, and term steem a boost of three:
How to mine^2 steem^3
Inclusive/Exclusive Search
You can indicate whether you want documents to contain certain terms by placing a + or a - in front of the term.
Example Queries:
Find documents about mining but not bitcoin:
cryptocurrency +mining -bitcoin
Wildcard Search
You can use the wildcard expressions of ? for a single character, or * to match any number of characters.
Example Queries:
How to mine any cryptocurrency:
How to mine *
Boolean Search
AskSteem supports any combination of the previously mentioned search types in a single powerful query. This uses boolean values of AND, OR, and NOT, along with parenthesis to separate statements.
Example Queries:
Posts tagged with asksteem by @thekyle:
tags:asksteem AND author:thekyle
Posts with between 50 and 100 comments that have more than 500 upvotes and that are tagged with 'bitcoin' or have the term bitcoin in the document:
(bitcoin OR tags:bitcoin) AND (net_votes:>500 AND children:(>50 AND <100))
Posts created on June 2, 2017, with 100 or more upvotes but less than 10 comments:
created:2017-06-02 AND net_votes:>=100 AND children:<10
Developers
Because AskSteem integrates directly into the steem blockchain it can read metadata directly from posts and use that data when performing queries and displaying results. We encourage developers to add AskSteem compatible metadata to their posts so that we can show links to your application in our search results. The full documentation can be found at asksteem.com/developers, however, in this post I will summarize the most important tags.
| Tag | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| domain | The domain name or web address that your application is hosted on. | example.com |
| locator | The path to reach the post on the domain relative to the root. | /CATEGORY/@AUTHOR/PERMLINK |
| protocol | Either 'http' or 'https' if not provided then http will be used by default | https |
If none of the above metadata is provided then AskSteem will link to steemit.com for all posts by default, however, it is assumed that the platform creating the content will have the best interface for viewing it, so we would rather link there.
The domain and locator tags are required for custom linking to work, however, the protocol tag is optional and will default to http.
- The domain tag should be the domain name that your web-based steem application is hosted on and is subdomain sensitive (so if your hosting on www subdomain then put that).
- The locator should be the permalink to that particular post in your applications URL structure, also notice the leading forward slash, this is required.
The final URL that we point to will be generated by concatenating the domain and locator together with the protocol at the beginning which will be http unless otherwise specified.
Additionally, if you are building an application on the steem blockchain and need a search API please email us at [email protected], we are able to query custom metadata and make various other customizations to the ranking algorithm to support your use case.
Funding
The harsh reality is that search engines are expensive to run and that adding new features and improving performance are difficult if the basic funding needs of the project are not covered. AskSteem currently costs me about $100/month to run, and that number will, of course, continue to increase as steem grows and the index size increases.
Ideally, my goal is the have those costs covered through upvotes from the steem community and to use any extra money for adding new features and scaling the search infrastructure to meet demand. If this works then AskSteem will be the first search engine in the world to use a cryptocurrency based revenue model, instead of selling advertising.
Thank you for your time, and happy searching!
Happy to see this. I resteemed.

Hi @thekyle.
I'd like to tell you how happy I am for the lesson, not just on asksteem.com, but also on how to do a search and ferret out what might otherwise be obscure - but important - results. I've been doing a little research now and then on a couple of open source investigations, and just learning more about how searches operate will help me to research for my own topics. It will also help me better assist the activists and freedom-fighters who are busy helping us reclaim our democracy.
It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm @joanroberts, and I've been here for a whole week. Forgive me for not upvoting - my (literal) 2 cents is going to go to someone else, who is new, but who, like yourself, adds to the community. Trust me. When your vote is only worth 2 cents, when you see someone upvote you and you've got 4 cents, while it doesn't make you rich, it does make you smile.

Thank you for providing a Steem search other than Google!
Yacy might make your indexing efforts more distributed and cost effective.
Yacy is a great Distributed Search engine. You can host a node that only indexes Steem in collaboration with anyone else who wants to index steem and share results. Yacy runs on Desktops, laptops and servers. Linux, Windows and Mac.
http://yacy.net/en/index.html
There is also a built in interface for your site that works out of the box. Together we are strong. Take a look if you're interested.
I have a basic demo that indexed some of steem and reddit on my Desktop here. http://camb.hopto.org:8090/
(this demo won't be up much longer)
I will be moving it to a proper server soon and begin indexing only distributed networks.
Good luck!

I had a friend on here @kaptainkrayola who had a nice and effective search engine running for steemit called steemshovel.com until Feb 1st, 2017. He ended it up shutting it down for exactly the reason you indicated. No funding, and he was actually losing money by running it.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yeah, I looked into SteemShovel before launching AskSteem. Technically in the backend both search engines use ElasticSearch for indexing the blockchain, and think SteemShovel may have also been hosted on AWS. Hopefully, my goal of funding the search engine through upvotes will work out, otherwise, there are some other ideas I have for getting funding.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yeah my friend didn't post here enough or he likely could have funded it. He is a developer, but didn't really want to blog.
Funny enough it was him talking to me about Eth mining that caused me to stumble on steemit, before him. He was kicking himself and wondering how he missed it.

It unlikely that you could include a full search engine inside the of the blockchain and make it as fast as AskSteem, however its possible in the future that they could include the ability to natively sort posts by tag (I know I was surprised the blockchain didn't have that already too)

What a cool idea! Just the other day I saw a comment from someone complaining about how crude Steemit's built-in search is. I wished I could point them to some nifty tool that improves the experience. Now I can! Going to go try this out right away... you sir have earned another follower!

Glad you like it! There is some room for improvement but it definitely works better than generic web search engines like Google (which is what steemit currently uses) which are not optimized for searching blockchains. Thanks for the follow, and make sure to spread the word if you see anyone else looking for an alternative to the default search. :)

I definitely will. Spent some time playing around with it and it seems to work pretty well so far.

Thanks for this!
I've just joined here, made a few posts and comments and tried asksteem, and it can't find myself.
Is it normal?
I was willing to translate your guides to my language to help others but need to make sure it works first.
Thanks again

Hi there,
As you can see here it has indexed all of your posts. It may take a few days for your user account to get indexed.

I've waited since 2016 for this. There's a lot of great old articles that are hard to find because Steem is focused on new content. I wish authors could get paid for old articles that might have been low rated originally, yet later were rediscovered for very useful content.

I've been searching for something like this, I think it should be steems default search engine.

I like it. Works much smoother than the search on Steemit.com and has some nice features.
Resteemed!

Thanks for the resteem, I'm going to keep improving it, but I'm glad you like it. It should work better than Steemit's default search because it interfaces directly with the blockchain rather than using a HTML proxy layer (like the current steemit search)

Yes the google search function is a bit primitive so this is a great step up :)

Why 10/11 months old posts are reported with a today research as follow?

You need to separate the parts of your search query with boolean operators. The correct query would be:
linux AND author:"oneshot" AND created:[2018-01-01 TO 2018-02-28]Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

When searching posts by keyword is possible to obtain a given chronological order? From newer to older and vice-versa?

It is possible to do that via our API but not through the web interface.

@thekyle
I've just been playing with AskSteem and I love it. I'm very impressed and I'm certainly going to adopt it as my goto source for steem based content.
I do have a couple of questions/suggestions that I would like to ask if that's ok...
As content on the steem blockchain is being published constantly, I was wondering if there is any way to search for new content using a time variable? The meta of every post gives an indicator of when the post was published if, within the last 24hrs, this is a min-by-min indicator. It would be incredibly powerful if I could run a time-based search or a search for content published 25mins ago. This would allow users to benefit from the 30min voting.
Is there any information on the SEO of your search engine. For example, if I searched the tag, "introduceyourself" how would I get my post to be listed first?
EDIT: Btw, I seem to be getting a server error (500) when I click on dashboard.

You're the man! Thank you very much for your great work! It's really fast :) Would be nice to have the filter possibilities in a html form. Maybe with a link to an "advanced search" or so... I'll resteem ;)

Thanks, I've been planning to create an advanced search page since I launched AskSteem so that is definitely on the to-do list.

Perfect! Do you have access to the number of views or are they tracked by Steemit only? If that would be possible, you could add this for searching "lost content", which didn't get many views (for whatever reason), but nevertheless could be interesting content for some of us...
