It seems like people with skills and ambitions don’t want to work with search. The search feature of Github is also garbage. The ranking is ridiculously bad. Stackoverflow search is also a joke. Almost forgot about the docs at MS. Clone and use a tool to find in files for MS docs will beat the MS docs sites. Also, I challenge anybody to write a serious version of find in files on Windows that is slower than the native one.
My tip is to try to avoid searching. Ask yourself where the information may be located. Then try to find that location if you do not already know it.

- ravenstine 5y agoThere's not much money in it. But some people are working on search: https://kagi.com https://kagi.com Having used the beta, I can say it's pretty good. Will normies use it? Probably not. Normies will use The Google until the end of time because The Google has done a remarkable job convincing everyone that they have a unique omniscience. But if you know better, then give Kagi a chance. In my disillusionment around DuckDuckGo, Kagi has been a breath of fresh air.
