Very cool! Though it seems more like a hand-picked directory than a search engine with a crawler, as it doesn't find quite a few good noncommercial pages that I know exist.

  I think humans are better at building such a thing if the aim is not gobbling up the entire web but only light websites that aren't commercial. I think that would be hard or impossible to automate. It definitely has an early 90's vibe in terms of results. Not terribly useful be but interesting nonetheless.

I am learning Svelte, so I typed that in: https://wiby.me/?q=svelte https://wiby.me/?q=svelte Two links came back: "Facts on Farts" "NiceJewishMom.com" Not a good first impression.

  In it's defense, svelte is actually a word that appears on both of those pages.

    One of the big questions about search engines is "what is it trying to do?" The simplest is "search for doc that contaons" . But we're used to "search for document about concept" by now. ISTRC Bing called themselves a "decision engine". I don't know what Google is/trying to be now, but it often thinks it knows my business better than myself, excluding critical words. I don't think there can be a universal answer. The corpus gathering is a huge barrier to entry, but having a common corpus would still allow room for competition on diversity of querying methods.

      Their niche is to search the "classic web". Atleast the title in firefox says: > Wiby - Search Engine for the Classic Web That's also probably why you didn't find any information on the svelte framework.
