Thank you! It is like tweetdeck. I forgot about that site. Will be looking at it more for any ideas... Swurl is using Google search right now... so you could just change your default search to Swurl :) Would love the support

Thank you for the detailed feedback marginalia_nu! Yes I agree search UX has not been evolving much. I wish it would. What version of Windows and what browser are you using? How old is the computer? Maybe it is something I could improve.

Thank you for the encouragement! Yes the UX could be used for other search apps. Internal search is a good one, maybe searching a bunch different doc types or internal databases. Good point!

Haha, yes exactly. That is one of the design inspirations. If people can handle columns of dense content on newspapers, figured they could on search too? I hope so. Thank you for noticing and commenting that!

Odd, I just tested it and it worked fine. What version of FF are you using? Are you using some incognito or private mode? Thank you!

Thank you for the great feedback! I would love to have a different search source, but DuckDuckGo and Brave don't give API access to their results. I would definitely add those if they opened up access to Swurl. Know anyone that could

Thank you for that data! I was thinking about making it even wider, but that could hurt usability on smaller phones....

Thank you for point that out! That could be helpful. Do you think I should implement that? Right now I still use the browser gestures too. I'm just getting better swiping inside vs swiping on the screen edge I guess...

Thank you for pointing this out. Yes this is very true, it is a pretty classic search engine problem. I think there are 2 main ways to improve this, add search related searches that could help users click to better specify, but that would

Thank you for the voting up this feature! It is already there https://swurl.com/?q=php+array+sort What search is it not showing up for you? I could try to trigger it better.

by ryes 4y ago
Thank you! Yes for sure, that is totally on the todo list. I'll be adding all the search options later in a drop down. Just give me about 30 days to get to that. I appreciate the vote for these features, really helps me prioritize

Dark mode is definitely on the short list of future todos... will probably get to it in the next 30 days. On toggleable, that is interesting feedback. It is a bit different. I wonder what made you feel like it was a toggle... The clickab

Thanking for voting up the profile idea! It is a good one. Do you have any example searches? That would be helpful for me thinking about this. What searches would you want to see more of something else, that Google isn't already do

by ryes 4y ago
Wow, this is the best feedback. A lot here that is helpful. Search profiles. This is a good idea. But could add a lot of complexity and options to fiddle with. I'm trying to just code stuff that adds a tons of value with the least

Hrmm, thank you for letting me know! Do you have any more info on how to reproduce this problem? How are you disabling it? I'm just trying to reproduce so I can try to stop any errors breaking things. Thank you!

by ryes 4y ago
Is there some specific other sources you would like me to add? Could totally do it quickly if it would be helpful for everyone. Right now I'm thinking about the pinning and ability to add any site. Kind of tricky to implement design

Cool! Would love to have more people getting value out of Swurl. I will be coding a bunch of these suggestions today! What changes were you specifically needing? Just turning off Instagram? Sorry, the 1st comment was edited, so not sure

by ryes 4y ago
Thank you for the kind compliment, that is appreciated :) Good feedback! Ok I will definitely add an option to turn off Instagram and Twitter. Is there anything besides those? Not sure I want to add an option to turn off anything, trying

Love this, I think I will definitely add an option to disable! Thank you for your valuable feedback! I just woke up to go for a run, will code this in a couple hours when I get back...

Please try a few more searches. What searches are you doing where it doesn't get anything? That would help me figure out what looks wrong, thank you for the feedback!

Good points, sorry about that. I will add that, thank you! I just threw on GA so I can see some basic usage data.

Glad you are enjoying it, thank you for your feedback and help testing! Ok will test some more. The problem is kinda Firefox actually. Swurl is using this newish css snap feature, but Firefox's implementation is a bit buggy. Sorry...

https://swurl.com/?q=747+airplane that looks pretty Hrmmm, that is a great idea. I like it. Do you have an idea of a good source for that? Is there a website you like for discovering the unexpected? I guess maybe someth

by ryes 4y ago
Ya for real! That is basically what this new UX is trying to enable. Just more columns of views. I've been just seeing people swiping for more on snapchat and tiktok, thinking that UX design must be good to use for evolving something

That is awesome you are working on a free search engine! Very cool. Yes please incorporate any ideas you like. I do think or hope search will eventually be free and everyone will have access to a good free search API. I'll check out m

Great it is working good for you, that makes me very happy. Glad it is smooth and fast. I tried really hard to make it super fast and optimized and small. Thank you very much for your spacing feedback. What device are you using to browse

Wooo, love it visarga. That is good input and suggestions. I don't usually use Arxiv. Do you have some example queries where you would like to see a Arxiv column? Also same with HN? That is a bit of a harder one. I guess I could tr
