Could you build this?
Partial A search UI and vector-search plumbing can be assembled from existing libraries, but the distinctive part, search that adapts and improves from accumulated query experience, requires designing and validating novel ranking/learning logic. That is closer to applied research than to vibe-coding.
What it would actually take: The base is an embedding model plus an approximate-nearest-neighbor index (e.g., HNSW or a vector DB), with a reranker. The adaptive layer needs a feedback loop that logs query paths and outcomes and tunes search parameters or reranking weights, likely via bandits or learned policies. It needs IR/ML engineers to design and evaluate it against real relevance benchmarks.
