Thanks.. Searchera is something that I started building as a side project. Been working the past few months on packaging it with proper API and plan on offering it as a hosted & on-premises search service.
Near real time monitoring of mass media is something that companies do for damage control and crisis management. It's done either by an in-house public relations team or by an external PR company. I thought it would be useful for Uber given how much negative PR they have to fight these days.
I have been building a version of this too.. with some additional facets to test a full text search engine. Will probably do a show hn one day.
