Very cool. I wish it sorted all results in order of recency, or had an option for that.

#152It's cool, I think a 2x2 grid might be a better layout and maybe a summarised view rather than streams e.g no scrolling. Otherwise it's a lot of information to pack into one page. It's good though.

#153By the way, where is innovation in Google Search? I just saw news of one person who built search inside CD-ROMs of the 90s all by themselves. Why doesn’t Google do that with search and integrate it somehow? Google Search has abandoned any pretense of finding new areas of search.
I'm still working on a reverse of google-desktop-linux-latest, they've left debugging info in it, maybe someone can liberate their old search algorithm.

#154So quick search in the comments and nothing about XR/VR/MR/AR or 3D Spatial Computing which is going to rebuild the search process from the ground up using a nearly infinate canvas of depth and width realestate that decompresses limitations imposed by flat screens and force the kind of ergonomic backflips to optimize information choice and density per square inch as linked out here. This is beautiful well thought out service but I can't help but think it would look better in a 3D environment in the near future.

#155It’s pretty nice. I wish I could disable the new tab default though.

#156Well 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…
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 to limit the complexity and number of options.
Pinning... could you give me some examples of columns you would always want pinned to the front vs dynamic based on relevancy? Or some example queries? That would be super helpful. I like the pinning idea though! Just need some help thinking about this.
So on scoped google columns, that is basically how it is being done right now: https://swurl.com/?q=php+array+sort Usually google search with site: is better than the site search itself. But usually I customize it a bit if it is helpful. Stackoverflow is already there, and reddit. Is there any other specific ones you would like? I can code it really quickly.

#157Broken behaviour without google tag manager. I have disabled google tag manager, but javascript excepts it. It is generally recommended way to write javascript not to expect any spying/telemetry tooling to always be loaded.

If OP implements these changes, I might actually start using this for real ! It is true that it is brilliant.
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 what you would like.

Yep, fully agree that source selection would be huge here
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 vs simplicity wise.

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!
