Pretty cool, @slatian has made an open source search engine and it's running here: https://unobtanium.rocks/
Given how crappy other search engines have gotten, maybe it's worth giving a try!

@cwebber@slatian just tried it, asking for the longest Dark Star performed by the grateful dead in a live show. Produced nothing even close to a correct answer. The model was presumably not trained on #GratefulDead stuff. :-)
@DoctorDNS @cwebber
This is a search engine, not an LLM 
The index configuration an inclusion criteria are over on codeberg. Feel free to open an issue if something is missing 
@cwebber@slatian Looks like this still has a long way to go (for example, you can't filter by time range or anything like that -- I ran a quick test search and the first article I got was from 2008 which would be really bad if I was searching, say, how to fix a software issue) but it is a wonderful idea and I truly hope it takes off.
@cwebber @slatian@pleroma.envs.netWould be cool to add it to searxng
@cwebber I've wanted to replace my YaCy for a while. Been collecting open source search engines for a while now, this one goes to the top of the list.
It's in Rust, hosted on Codeberg. That already elevated it above pretty much every other option I wanted to explore.
Thanks Christine for tooting about it, and @slatian for writing it!
