Could you build this?
No Indexing, searching, and citation-walking across 200 million research papers requires massive distributed search infrastructure and multi-terabyte vector databases.
What it would actually take: Requires a distributed data architecture with OpenSearch for BM25 text search, a multi-node vector cluster (such as Qdrant or Milvus) storing hundreds of millions of embeddings, and a large-scale graph database (like Neo4j or Memgraph) to handle multi-hop citation traversals, supported by distributed batch data pipelines.
