What a terrible name! Into the trash.
> How do you pronounce "mwmbl"? Like "mumble". I live in Mumbles, which is spelt "Mwmbwls" in Welsh. But the intended meaning is "to mumble", as in "don't search, just mwmbl!"
slashes get eaten by the page. not cool.
But the crawler seems to be lacking quite a bit. For my first search (current work problem) "rust json diff" it only found 6 links, only one of which was a rust crate. Unfortunate.
Second Search: "black sabbath sleeping village lyrics" only gave 2 results, only one of which was correct.
Also the repo is missing the SearXNG[1] search engine.

Either would be sad, because the world needs more open source search engines.
Okay, name aside, because I instantly got that and englisch isn't my first language. But the crawler seems to be lacking quite a bit. For my first search (current work problem) "rust json diff" it only found 6 links, only one of which was a rust crate. Unfortunate. Second Search: "black sabbath sleeping village lyrics" only gave 2 results, only one of which was correct. Also the repo is missing the SearXNG[1] search…
Love that you folks are working on this. We desperately need more diversity in search options. Much is at stake in this arena.
ChatGPT's recent huge success in performing a specific tasks previously within the domain of Google by doing something other than they are is a good example of this.
I remember https://yacy.net/ but the big problem of this project was java and had not implementations in others languages. I mean it as imagine torrent was only in perl.
