Hi Richard, lucky coincidence - we're launching something similar in that regard today [1][2], in general we say "meeh" to search engines (you did not hear me saying that) but I love to keep watching your project from today on. We're launching Sentinel, an A.I.based data aggregation tool that does the searching for you and brings you back just results (instead of websites). You could call it a "semantic web enabler with a large language model instead of xml" at it's core – but it's too hard to digest for all people off HN.

Well, I tried to find a pancake recipe on "stovetop.app", "you(dot)com", and "get-sentinel" and so far I'm 0/3 on recipes and 3/3 on irritation for Nov. 9th HackerNews search engines ..holey moley, I just found something that works! I bookmarked a super weird search engine someone linked here a while back, and it actually returned useful search results immediately: https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=pancake+recipe&profile=yolo&js=default https://search.marginalia.nu/search?query=pancake+recipe&pro... that led straight to: http://online-cookbook.com/goto/cook/rpage/000DDF http://online-cookbook.com/goto/cook/rpage/000DDF , which is possibly the best recipe site I've ever seen in my life. It's just an ingredient list and a paragraph of text below it!

  You'll be able to get 100s of recipes sorted by whatever you like to sort them after signing up for the waitlist at our website (and wait a little :))…without clicking through websites that is.

  We shouldn't be too hard on these new search engines. My search engine spent a fairly long time returning comically irrelevant search results. Building a search engine is easy enough. Getting it to return good results is the 10% of the work that takes 90% of the time.

  Wow, https://search.marginalia.nu https://search.marginalia.nu is really cool. I just wasted a whole hour looking at sites it was suggesting with the random feature. Haha.
