I've been impressed with AndiSearch so far. I use a mix of Google and DDG and this seems to do a great job at search relevancy. I'm still hesitant on a few things before making this my default search engine but I'm really excited to see where AndiSearch goes.

It seems like the search input for this kind of thing is pretty different than regular, "conversational" search and there's a need for a tech-specific search engine that caters towards code searching/technical string parsing.
- Not a huge fan of the "conversational" UI. I see "Assistant Mode" in the menu but I can't seem to disable it. Maybe I'm missing something. I do like the simplicity of having just a free-form search bar. There's a higher bar of entry for use if I have to learn how to interact with the search bot.
