I.e. worse than ordinary search results?
People who like inaccurate search results?
Bad search results are a source of frustration, yes.
Sure that makes sense. Their search engine is not amazing.
If you're running a top-notch search engine, why are you excluding the results I care about most?
"Don't be afraid to scroll down in the search results, unlike in many other search engines, depending on what you are looking for, you may find the best results in the middle of the listing."This is a very polite way of saying "this engine isn't very good"Overall impressed with the project but I thought the word play there was funny
You are getting that because other people do not care about what you are searching for :( their AI is maximizing the chances of quickly finding what most people want, not what you want.
How much of this do they do to their search results?
What is HN's opinion on the quality of the search results?
Yeah, the quality of search make me think like your comment.
