Congrats to the Andi team! I'm excited to see the innovation continuing in this space.

  Wow. You and poster picodguyo use very similar language "I love the innovation going on in the search space lately." What are the chances of that?

    Hey, we don't know picodguyo but Pouya is one of our W22 batchmates and just trying to be supportive of us. It's my bad, I'm sorry!

    I don't know picodguyo either, but to be fair, there really is a flourishing of innovation finally happening in search. Finally. After 20 years of zip innovation. Marginalia, Brave Search, DuckDuckGo is doing more than ever, Mojeek is rejuvenating, Wiby, Alexandria and a stack of others. It's time. We've had a tired monopoly with 90%+ marketshare selling us to the highest bidder for too long. The more people taking on this problem with different ideas and approaches the better. So yes, there is a lot of innovation in the search space lately. Google might see that as "what are the chances" conspiracy. I see it as healthy. Roll on some innovation :)

      Congratulations both, on the launch. > Google was once a search company. Now it's ad ad-tech and surveillance company that leverages monopoly distribution to sell consumers to advertisers, using captive browser traffic as their loss leader. Couldn't agree more. Search innovation has been crushed for too long but is now again reflowering. Thanks for the mention. You know where we are if you need an alternative web search API ;)

        Thanks Colin! The approach we use does better the more different sources we ingest, so we would love to include results from Mojeek (and some of the great specialized searches appearing). Will reach out to you and thanks for that.
