Hello, mojeek dev here. Cheers for the feedback, appreciated.
In this case we simply don't have the page in our index, though we do have others mentioning hanami. Our bot is permitted to crawl github.com and has a good number of pages in from that host, we'll evaluate whether we can increase crawling for github and similar large sites and hopefully before long that page will enter the index.

Ah, good to know.
As a developer one of the main things I'm searching for is code.
Unfortunately (for competitors) I can pretty much count on Google having everything I ever want in the index.
Not having the thing I'm looking for in the index is another wrinkle on top of relevancy.
On Google, it's the first result. https://www.google.com/search?q=github+ruby+hanami
On mojeek, it's not even on the first page. https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=github+ruby+hanami
It's possible that at this point I (and others) have trained ourselves to know/do the kind of queries that work on Google, without even realizing it, which would be another thing making it hard to switch. Although in this case... I'm actually a bit surprised mojeek doesn't manage it. Just `github hanami` doesn't get it either. Is it just not matching on sitename at all?
