The Scratch Online Community has been experiencing rapid growth and has around 9.5 million users and 12.5 million shared projects today. This exponential growth introduces a need for a new Search infrastructure that will enable users to find and discover more relevant projects, while allowing the Scratch team to control the ranking of search results. This thesis presents a complete Search system that will be deployed on the Scratch website and a novel visual tool named FIRST (Fast Iterative Relevance Search Tool) that aids in the process of defining a useful relevance function for Search.
