Added AI search with Jev!
Jev it up guys!
Search was my weakest spot. It was plain MySQL fulltext, so short or tricky terms were broken. "Go developer", "AI engineer" and "C# developer" returned 0 or garbage results. Adding filters like seniority, salary and location made it worse, you often got an empty page.
This week I shipped AI search with Jev:
Just type "senior react dev in Berlin $150k with equity" or "junior python engineer London 100k" and it works.
How it works under the hood:
Fast regex extracts tech tags, city, seniority and salary. I built a 120 term taxonomy so React.js, Golang, C#, Go and AI all map correctly.
Jev System One (hosted on Cloudflare Workers AI) reads the fuzzy intent: benefits, regions, pay interest, recency.
If strict filters give less than 5 hits, it auto broadens in tiers: city to region to worldwide, then relaxes seniority and salary. You never hit a dead end.
Impact so far: Senior Angular in Berlin went from 2 to 165 results. AI engineer went from 0 to 3,050. Go and C# finally work.
It is live on all 3 boards now for Pro users, and free search also got tag matching so it handles Go and C# better.
Curious: if you run a directory or marketplace, would you trust auto broadening, or would you rather show "0 results" to stay strictly accurate?
