Perfection.
I would make this may default search UI, particularly if I could integrate it with MacOS and Chrome. Great work.

#132This is amazing.
Quick question, in your example you did "Paul Graham y combinator". I then tried https://swurl.com/?q=breck+yunits and it worked great, so I thought that I was lucky that my parents gave me a UUID and my results worked better than PG! But then I tried your original query except without "y combinator" and the results were just as good (clearly PG is most famous PG by far). So was curious why you added the "y combinator"?

#133Very cool! Not working on my Firefox though (Ubuntu). Had to use Chrome for this one.

#134Well that is shockingly good! I was not expecting somthing so good. Nice job! I would ask for one thing - the ability to turn off certain sources. Instagram is not of, and never will be of interest to me. Edit: 2nd suggestion / feature request: add ability to 'pin' columns to a position. 3rd suggestion / feature request: ability to add scoped google columns, I would love a column that has `site:stackoverflow.com` pre…
If OP implements these changes, I might actually start using this for real ! It is true that it is brilliant.

#135But… where are all the ads???
When I first tried it, I was like "oh, so the left-most column is the ads". It was only after trying a different query that produced fewer ads that I realised the left-most column is Google :-)

#136Earlier quoted context omitted.
google. ##.g:has(a[href ="pinterest.com"]) google.##.g:has(a[href="pinterest.com"]) add this to your ublock origin.
Or this new search engine UX could filter them out.
i don't use google search myself, i haven't used that in actual years, i am on DDG which has a similar pinterest filter that does the job well

#138I made this my default search to give it a try. I first interacted on my iPhone - was slick. Then, interacted on an ultrawide monitor--so much information at once. I would like the ability to add sources to search. For example, search HackerNews or industry specific websites.

Yep, fully agree that source selection would be huge here

#140Hey, this isn't working in FF for me - FF 106.0, MacOS 12.6. I thought it might be an extension, but I've tried turning off the expected culprits and nothing changes. I'm not ruling out combinations of extensions, but I'm also not going to try 30! combinations.
It looks great on Safari, though! Though I do echo the sentiment that it would be great to allow customization - let me choose the columns I want and where I want them in a layout panel.
