#2This is a neat project.
I would encourage more development be done to have the type cover more of the front end code. Your development environment must not be of much help due to the heavy use of the "any" type throughout the codebase, which essentially escapes out of the type system.

Heh.
Wait, you're joking right?

#6You mean you built a frontend for Google, not a search engine.

Thanks, it started out as regular, valid JS, then I figured I might as well convert it to TypeScript, and I did so (perhaps too) quickly. I do plan to add stronger typing later.

#8I see that you are scraping the results directly, curious if you’d tried out Google’s json search api? Any thoughts about it? I was about to need it or similar for a project.

That's literally in the title. It says METASearch engine, not search engine. I have never claimed it was a search engine.

I haven't tried it, I'm afraid.
