This is great. However how to find other such niche searches. A request for you.com/niche returns a 404 page which means you cannot find other niche searches like this one

Yeah, that's a good point. As new ones get built, we will need a way to make them discoverable.
Also, just as a heads up, there is a link at the bottom of the search page [0] if anyone would like to build one of these search pages on any topic that might be interesting. It's just a form now bc we are working through the process.

Thank you Chris. If I may add, maybe have an approach to get some community feedback on such niche search as well. This can help to narrow down the list. Great work. I'm going to use this search for my work

#14Niche search is a huge problem with Google and other big players these days, happy someone’s facing this issue head on.
Would be great if you could do this for Web3 / crypto, and other such niches where tons of new info is coming in and poorly indexed

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sounds like a good idea, but I'd like to see how is it better than googling these phrases together with pytorch keyword. Not saying it's not better, just not clear if it is.
In the broadest sense, a highly targeted search engine (like this) can provide better results because Google has to determine user search intent AND return the right results from trillions of webpages. The advantage of this search engine is that all of the users are looking for the same type of information, and the result sources can be curated to ensure high quality and relevant results. The more targeted the topic,…
I just tried searching for: pytorch Distributed model parallel, and google fails completely to return relevant results in the first few pages, even if I put Distributed model parallel in quotes. You.com also mostly fails, but it returns a section specifically from Discuss Pytorch forums which does have relevant results, so yes, this is a good sign.

That's great! And I think the results even improve a little more if you just search 'distributed model parallel' without 'pytorch' [0]
So still some work to do, but I've personally found this type of search engine really valuable for some of my interests where I am able to curate the sites that might not normally rank, but I know are higher quality.

Any specific sites? Happy to spin one of these up for you focused on Web3. These work the best when the search engine creator has domain expertise to showcase the best sources.
I could try to find some sources, but my guess at the best Web3 sites would probably miss the mark.

What kind of info do you need to find on the crypto space that can’t be easily found with Thegraph or similar tools?
