Hi, Looks good on first try. You mentioned the tool currently searches abstracts only. Searching full papers appears impossible as they are mostly behind paywalls, right?
I was looking for a way to save the result page locally (ie offline). Maybe I need more coffee, but it did not look possible. So I'd add the ability to save the result (or at least make the button prominent). But the fact I wanted to save a result is a good sign. Nice work!
Just save the report url! It will persist. Also, on the usual system if you're logged in (instead of the HN free link), all your searches automatically get saved on a "history" page.
For our use case as well, I wanted to forward the offline-readable version of your result page and had to save the webpage with a browser extension.
I think allowing users (or maybe just the paid users) to "Save as PDF" the search page result will be a very easy feature to monetize.
I understand that "share the link" is a much more appealing call to action for your startup, but you're probably not going to change the mindset of the entire industry away from PDFs overnight, and you do stand to gain by making this a (possibly paywalled) feature.
Congrats for the great work!
One thing that I would like to suggest (other than saving to PDF, as discussed elsewhere in the thread) is to give the possibility, not just to "expand" the search, but also to "refine" the search.
If it was possible for me, after reading through the result page, to go back to your conversational UI and say, "OK this was my original intent, and here's what's wrong with the results I've got" for your system to provide a "refined" version of my query, that would be next-level.
Keep up the good work. Congrats on a successful launch!
This is brillant and I found papers I could not locate previously through manual searches.

When sharing a link to a search results page, the "og:title" has content="Undermind Search: I want to find..." (so all the titles of all the pages will be identical)
and the "og:description" has content="Summary of Results: - " which will always be the same as well.
We've gone through this with OneTake AI as well because we want our users to share their creations, which them gets them clicks, which result in traffic for us in the end.
Shares will get more clicks if the title and description are more explicit.
You could have the title be: "Undermind:" + a 3-4 word gist of the search. In my case: "Undermind: Video presentation impact on learning"
And the description would be the actual summary content (which you do have on the page already), packed into a single line, and without the word "Summary:" (which is the only thing that's currently making it into the decription).
Voilà! It's a small change but it's pretty easy and will likely increase clickthrough slightly (so more traffic for you)
