Could you build this?
No A public web reverse face-search engine requires crawling billions of images across social media and the open web, extracting facial embeddings, and running massive vector similarity search at scale.
What it would actually take: Building this requires a distributed web crawling cluster capable of ingesting billions of public web and social profiles, a facial detection and embedding pipeline (e.g., ArcFace, InsightFace), and a billion-scale approximate nearest neighbor vector database (such as Milvus or custom FAISS clusters). The key hurdles are the astronomical infrastructure and bandwidth costs, bypassing sophisticated anti-scraping protections, and managing legal compliance around biometric data collection. This requires a dedicated team of distributed systems engineers and computer vision specialists.
