Here's some feedback. Keep on truckin': * You should add a title, logo, and a tag line that summarizes what the site is for, because people who aren't coming from HN won't know. I like your link that says what you index, but how about summarizing that with one word, one image, and five more words for a tagline. * Of all the titles for your search results sections, I only know what Sphinx is. I've never heard of Ferret, SOLR, or Xapian, and so these words just confuse me. I mean, I can make an educated guess, but why should I? These words don't convey information and should be removed. How about interpolating your search results? * I feel like your search results are intended for consumption by a machine. Can't you pull snippets that humans can understand from the stuff you index? Numbers and slashes make me dizzy. * How about a nice autocomplete? That's sort of standard for search engines these days, and would be particularly appropriate in this domain. YUI provides an easy to use package for this. * There's no reason to use red for your links. Use blue, and underline them, because otherwise some people won't figure it out. * Finally, I think you know that your colors and UI need work. Maybe you have designer friend who can give you some pointers. I could also recommend a great one that works for fairly cheap and does my projects.
