Show HN: New drag and drop search engine
- doublerabbit 7y agoWell that’s refreshing.
- dropicon 7y agoThanks for taking the time to take a look.
- Chicago77 7y agoBrilliant. Needs more results but I like the concept.
- nquryshi 7y agoSuper interesting! Wondering if this can potentially have a practical use case over google?
- dropicon 7y agoThank you. Yes hopefully it can and it works really well on desktop or mobile.
- bananicorn 7y agoInteresting concept, really clean execution - although I wonder: Where do you see the use-case? Something domain-specific, like maybe cooking recipes where you combine icons representing the ingredients? A search where you could mix and match all kinds of game genres? It would have to be something where the icons are understandable at a glance, and where you can just throw them into the 'pot' without much further thought. As it is right here, I don't see why I would use this over a traditional text-based search engine, but I could imagine this working rather well in a more confined setting, maybe embedded in another website :)
- dropicon 7y agoThanks for the feedback, much appreciated.
- splittydev 7y agoLooks pretty cool and I generally like the concept, but most combinations come up with 0 results.
- splittydev 7y agoFor example, if I put in Flights and Funny, I'd expect to get funny flight stories. If I type the query into google as "flights" "funny" I'm getting exactly the type of results I'd expect from your search engine as well. Just some constructive criticism. I really like the idea.
- dropicon 7y agoThanks, constructive criticism very welcome. Yes you are absolutely right. There isn't enough search data yet but it will improve over the coming weeks as more sites are trawled.
