So I have to install software on my computer to use it? No, thanks. They claim an advantage: "no content can be censored and no search results can be recorded and analyzed on central servers", this is extremely important for some applications, but for searching source code, I couldn't care less. It just raises the bar of adoption to the point I'm not interested in it. General purpose client side software is dead. Client side software makes sense only for niche applications.
