Could you build this?

No Building a reverse face search engine that scans millions of public web faces (like PimEyes) requires massive web scraping infrastructure, vector databases indexing billions of face embeddings, and high-performance neural search.

What it would actually take: The architecture requires large-scale continuous web scrapers across social media and public sites, facial detection/alignment pipelines (e.g., RetinaFace), and high-dimensional embedding extraction (e.g., ArcFace). Storing and querying billions of 512-d vectors in milliseconds requires specialized distributed vector search clusters (Milvus/Qdrant/Faiss) on heavy GPU/compute clusters, along with significant legal and anti-scraping countermeasures.
