Personally, I find it returns much better results than anything currently available elsewhere. It reminds me of a time when search actually worked. Also, no ads and no tracking.
BTW, different instances can supply poorer results than others, so shop around to find the best one for you.
I just tried it with a few different instances, the fact that you can search the web for files is awesome. Just one problem though, I tried searching for a few specific websites in the “general” tab and they just wouldn’t show up in the results.
As an alternative for both, try searXNG.
https://searx.space/ for instances.
https://github.com/searxng/searxng for the code, you can run your own instance.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SearXNG for the wikipedia article.

Maybe I’m just missing something.
I don’t believe you are. I’m not certain it’s been implemented… yet.
The entire Fediverse is a work in progress. It’s just better than the alternatives.
Incredible. I was thinking about something like that, didn’t know it exist already
