So, first I thought "Oh no, not another DuckduckGo!" Then the article's first line had Google misspelt as 'Gogle' and then there were a few paragraphs with too many biased assumptions and with more of marketing slogans revolved around the importance of 'you'..and so I thought it's a social network with a search engine integrated. But then, I thought "hey, isn't that what Google already does?"
And then I clicked the link, it's just a semi-polished front-end, with serif and sans-serif fonts mixed, that just builds-up queries for ONE particular search engine (Bing). Atleast, if there was an option to choose between any of the top 3 Search engine's, I would have been slightly impressed.
Honestly, this is a disappointment and the title is misleading.
It solves a very little problem. Anyway, I don't want this to be a 'hate-only' comment, so, I'll share what I know with the community, so far:
(Replace news.ycombinator.com with the site you want to search for)
1) If you want to search a specific site, then type in :
site:news.ycombinator.com
2) If you want to exclude keywords, then type in:
site:news.ycombinator.com -mongodb
This will exclude all results containing 'mongodb'
3) If you are searching for a specific string within the results, then type:
site:news.ycombinator.com riak
This will explicitly highlight the word riak in your results and also include only results that matches this string.
You could also search for a particular term in double quotes to be included with your result:
site:news.ycombinator.com "paul graham"
Hope this helps..
