I did a few quick searches on differing topics and I must say the relevancy is almost on par with Google. DDG doesn't even come close: especially for typeahead suggestions. Only weird thing is that it doesn't feel fast - may be due to whole HN doing a stress test right now.
It will be nice to default to Web based on previous searches. the default all tab takes forever to load results probably due to images and videos hogging the same page.
It is mentioned as open search engine: what does that mean ? is it open index/api is open or fake open like openai ?

I don't think the above will age well in search
- richardsocher 5y agoThanks. Glad you like the relevancy. We've been working on that for a while. You're right. Especially today on our launch day, we're a slower than usual. Growing pains of launching a search engine :| We'll improve speed for sure in the coming weeks. We will open up the platform so people can contribute their own apps in the future. We're also open in the sense that users can actually select their preferences and change their search results. We will continue to work on opening up more of the stack in the future. Stay tuned :)
