Worldwide relevance by default. Deliberate local modes when place matters. The source is always visible.
Boriquén searches live independent sources, removes duplicates, and flags commercial pressure. General search is worldwide; Puerto Rico weighting is activated only when you select it.
Search Facebook Marketplace and Puerto Rico listing sources together, then compare the clean results from their original pages.
Find worker-published skills, experience areas, resume availability, and locality without making candidates repeat the same application.
Create a searchable skills profile for employers. Publication is voluntary and requires explicit consent.

WHY THIS EXISTS
Boriquén is not an advertisement aggregator and not another classifieds page. It is an attempt to repair general search for a place too small to command the sustained attention of the dominant engines.
A local product search commonly begins with paid placements, continues through mainland businesses that cannot serve the request well, and ends in pages manipulated by dealerships or other commercial repeat posters. The useful local person, small shop, specialist, spare part, job, or service is either buried or never indexed. Puerto Rican users have adapted rationally by moving their searches into Facebook Marketplace. Businesses have adapted by maintaining Facebook pages instead of independent sites. The adaptation works around the immediate failure while making the deeper failure worse: local information becomes less open, less linkable, less searchable, and more dependent on a private social platform.
Boriquén accepts the present importance of Marketplace without accepting that it should be the island's search infrastructure. The owner-operated Chrome companion can retrieve results through an already authenticated browser session; cookies remain in that browser, and the server receives normalized result evidence rather than control of the account. General engines, local sites, Clasificados, Craigslist, MercadoLibre, employer sources, and other catalogued routes can be searched alongside it. Duplicate listings are collapsed, Puerto Rico locality is established against the canonical municipalities and aliases, commercial language is distinguished from likely individual sellers, and every card retains the evidence used to rank it.
The engine follows expressed intent. A request for a nearby mechanic, a used table in Mayagüez, or work in Caguas should strongly reward local evidence and individual participation. A request for documentation, a world event, or a general concept should remain a general web search. Amazon and mainland businesses can be useful, particularly where shipping is free or no local supply exists; their place is below a genuinely relevant local answer, not outside the system and not above it because they purchased visibility.
No sponsored slot changes ordering. The economic purpose is public: restore the discoverability that allows a local business to justify a real website, allows an individual seller to compete with repetitive commercial listings, and allows a resident to search without first accepting an advertising market's definition of relevance. The wait for multiple live sources is a cost consciously exchanged for a cleaner result.
The employment side does not invite hundreds of people to perform repetitive applications into opaque queues. A worker creates a profile and may attach a résumé; authorized employers search for suitable people. Public talent results strip names, contact details, identifiers, résumé paths, and free-text summaries. Contact and document access remain behind the administrator boundary. The intention is to let opportunities find available labor without publishing a directory of vulnerable personal information.
