What is it? A metasearch engine? A distributed or central database and crawler?
Since it's "targeted towards tinkerers and developers" I tried some development-style searches. It gave some pretty random results, of which sometimes only the first one or two were relevant to my search terms. Is it necessary to tinker in order to get this to work well?
Here's an example:
Compared to DuckDuckGo:
Same here. I tried some searches that I might do at work and it didn't find what I wanted.
E.g. "llvm module" doesn't find the Module class reference page for LLVM.
Really awesome project. I like their ambition to compete with google (brave search is independent also but bad track record apparently)
When will someone create a wrep (web regular expression search and print)!?
Absolutely zero "interpretation" of what the user "really wanted".
What am I missing?...
