Could you build this?
No FaceSearch (similar to PimEyes) demands billions of web-scraped face images indexed into massive vector databases using specialized facial embedding models.
What it would actually take: A functional face search engine requires high-throughput web crawlers continuously scraping billions of images across the open web and social networks. The core infrastructure relies on deep metric learning models (like ArcFace/InsightFace) to extract face embeddings and petabyte-scale vector search engines (e.g., Milvus, Faiss, or Qdrant) distributed over dozens of GPU nodes. This necessitates tens of thousands of dollars per month in crawling bandwidth, anti-bot circumvention, massive storage, and expertise in distributed high-dimensional nearest-neighbor indexing.
