#2Hello All,
My name is Richard Socher, and I'm the founder of you.com, the world's first open search engine platform that summarizes the web for you. We launched our public beta today, and are excited to share it with you.
If you're a developer, we have several "search-apps" such as StackOverflow (with code snippets), W3Schools, MDN, Copilot-like Code Completion, json checkers, and more. All of them geared to help you code faster. Let us know if you have other app ideas for how to make your coding life better.
We believe in superior privacy choices without losing convenience. Our private mode is the most private experience - we don't store your queries or track your clicks or share IP, etc. And even in our personalized experience, we'll never sell your data or follow you around the web and we'll never offer privacy-invading targeted ads.
We wanted to create a search engine that delivers relevant content, not ads or SEO'd pages, and do it in a whole new interface that puts you in control through personalized preferences. We hope you'll be able to search less and do more.
Looking forward to your feedback and will be here to answer any questions.
Thanks! -RS

It's a little bit annoying because "y" or "yo" or "you" will always autocomplete to youtube for me.

#7I heard about "you" from one of my friends and wanted to give it a try and it forced me to install chrome plugin.
This is a lot of friction for me to try a new search engine. Not sure why you'd force your user to install something just to give it a try.

#8You should strip the ?ref= from indexed Urls [for multiple reasons].

I was able to use it without installing anything.
