I would love a search engine that searched mainly only Stack Overflow, Stack Exchange, Twitter, Flickr, and Reddit.
Google results are currently awful, full of blogspam and Pinterest-mirrored images. I don't remember when this changed.
- samstave 6y agoA search funnel would be an interesting thing (does this exist?) whereby you whitelist "only give me results from these resources" - and where 'resources' can include the whitelists of others that you trust or have subscribed to. Basically you could have a search engine that only replies with information from whom are also of the same interest as you - or people you congenially follow etc... So you could say " show me everything about X" and the results are only from those who are actually connected to X in some way - based on the interest subscription graph as opposed to a keyword graph... I may be a moron on this subject - but I do recog that there is room for improvement... I added the following to a previous comment: *"A cool way of implementing this would be instead of CTRL+SHIFT+N would be CTRL+SHIFT+N[1-9] to shift to VIEW and would take me to that tab-stack... and there would be a page that would allow me to manage each tab-stack around [TOPIC] - Meta Book marks..."*
- mminer237 6y agoI mean, you can search only those sites with Google. Just add: (site:stackoverflow.com OR site:superuser.com OR site:serverfault.com OR site:stackexchange.com OR site:twitter.com OR site:flickr.com OR site:reddit.com) You could make your browser do that automatically. https://www.google.com/search?q=(site%3Astackoverflow.com+OR+site%3Asuperuser.com+OR+site%3Aserverfault.com+OR+site%3Astackexchange.com+OR+site%3Atwitter.com+OR+site%3Aflickr.com+OR+site%3Areddit.com)+brave+search+engine https://www.google.com/search?q=(site%3Astackoverflow.com+OR... https://www.google.com/search?q=(site%3Astackoverflow.com+OR+site%3Asuperuser.com+OR+site%3Aserverfault.com+OR+site%3Astackexchange.com+OR+site%3Atwitter.com+OR+site%3Aflickr.com+OR+site%3Areddit.com)+linux+gpu https://www.google.com/search?q=(site%3Astackoverflow.com+OR... https://www.google.com/search?q=(site%3Astackoverflow.com+OR+site%3Asuperuser.com+OR+site%3Aserverfault.com+OR+site%3Astackexchange.com+OR+site%3Atwitter.com+OR+site%3Aflickr.com+OR+site%3Areddit.com)+native+trees https://www.google.com/search?q=(site%3Astackoverflow.com+OR...
- pkamb 6y agoI'd rather give my business to a search engine with good defaults. And I don't want only those big sites. I'd also like to see authored blogs, traditional forums, national newspapers, various wikis, etc.
- mminer237 6y agoFair enough. I was just giving the option if you didn't know, but I actually feel the exact same.
