Doesn't work at all without cookies. Meaning, it doesn't work, and doesn't tell you why. If you're targeting people who are looking for an alternative to the major search engines, there's a better-than-average chance that they'll have cookies disabled.

- gavinpc 13y agoI love that! All the more reason why the search should function properly with cookies disabled. Just disable cookies in your browser, load Blippex, and search. I searched for "shakespeare" in Firefox 22 (where I have cookies turned off), and the result (below the fold, incidentally), was > Nothing found > We're all like "What the blip, man?" too. ... Same search in Chrome 28 works fine (and interesting, too). This is my pet peeve on the web, and so common with HN posts that I don't usually bother to point it out. But this seems like something you'd want to know.
