Multimedia Search Engine Development

I'm in need of an experienced professional who can develop a search engine to cater to specific multimedia content requirements.

Key Requirements:
- The search engine should be capable of web crawling and indexing multimedia content (images and videos) from various online sources.
- Prioritization of multimedia content: The engine should prioritize multimedia content in its search results.
- Handling multimedia metadata: The engine is expected to extract metadata from images and videos, and also perform image/video recognition.

I'm open to suggestions on the best approach to implementing these features, but the end goal is a user-friendly and efficient multimedia search engine.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proven experience in developing search engines, especially those that are multimedia content focused.
- Proficiency in extracting and handling metadata from multimedia content.
- Strong background in image and video recognition technologies would be highly advantageous.
- Excellent understanding of web crawling and indexing.

Candidates with a demonstrable track record in similar projects are highly encouraged to apply.
