A lot of the terms I searched for returned no hits. The Firefox add-on crawls pages linked from Hacker News which is amusing perhaps but seems unlikely to crawl a representative selection of the web. Perhaps the user should be able to suggest pages to be crawled.
But when it does find something it is very quick! So I'll give it a go.
- hk__2 3y agoSame experience: it’s quick at finding irrelevant links. For some reason, it seems to have indexed a lot of spammy websites: search for "Trastevere" on Google, and you get Wikipedia and pages about the district in Rome. Search it on Mwmbl and you only get links from a random *.it-romehotels.com website. Other random examples: search for "2023" and the very first link is "2023 Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings". Search for "iphone", and the 5th link is a page about iPhone 6s that was last updated in 2021. Typos don't work: "haker news" has only one result, a hungarian press article.
- marginalia_nu 3y agoEven Google is kinda not great for "Trastevere". I'd like to see results like these in favor of the sort of travel industry spam that's 90% of the search results page. https://www.romeartlover.it/Vasi60.htm https://www.romeartlover.it/Vasi60.htm https://www.maquettes-historiques.net/P19b.html https://www.maquettes-historiques.net/P19b.html
