Any specific sites? Happy to spin one of these up for you focused on Web3. These work the best when the search engine creator has domain expertise to showcase the best sources. I could try to find some sources, but my guess at the best We

That's great! And I think the results even improve a little more if you just search 'distributed model parallel' without 'pytorch' [0] So still some work to do, but I've personally found this type of search eng

Yeah, that's a good point. As new ones get built, we will need a way to make them discoverable. Also, just as a heads up, there is a link at the bottom of the search page [0] if anyone would like to build one of these search pages on a

Good stuff! Github is one of the sources, but not specific repos. I actually think we can break out Github into individual repo sources pretty easily.

Worth mentioning is the Alexandria.org project [0]. It is a non-profit search engine built on data from Common Crawl. The coverage is limited because of Common Crawl, but the relevance is decent. They also provide an API. I believe one o

Mojeek is excellent, and because they use 100% their own index they have a much higher hill to climb. When I say "Best"for a general search engine, my definition is that it would fulfill the needs of myself and my non-technical fa

Credit to them for trying some new things on the UI front, but it looks like the organic results are from Bing (like most other alt/privacy search engines). It would be interesting to learn more about how/if they plan to build th

This is really an analysis of the use of biased language in news articles, which is interesting but only one dimension of potential bias. It is very possible to use non "charged" language, but still report a topic with a strong bi

Nice! Maybe at one point you can release a general web search engine for the Common Crawl corpus? It seems even simpler than this proof of concept, but potentially more useful for people looking for a true full text web search. There isn&#
