I am learning Svelte, so I typed that in:

https://wiby.me/?q=svelte

Two links came back:

"Facts on Farts" "NiceJewishMom.com"

Not a good first impression.

In it's defense, svelte is actually a word that appears on both of those pages.

One of the big questions about search engines is "what is it trying to do?"

The simplest is "search for doc that contaons" . But we're used to "search for document about concept" by now. ISTRC Bing called themselves a "decision engine".

I don't know what Google is/trying to be now, but it often thinks it knows my business better than myself, excluding critical words.

I don't think there can be a universal answer. The corpus gathering is a huge barrier to entry, but having a common corpus would still allow room for competition on diversity of querying methods.

Their niche is to search the "classic web".

Atleast the title in firefox says:

> Wiby - Search Engine for the Classic Web

That's also probably why you didn't find any information on the svelte framework.
