Better search is not the issue, it distorts the spirit, google became the focus of attention, now you want to be listed and seen, to monetize too.. before that people spent less time formatting stuff to exist. The word of mouth levels is a different (maybe more fertile) soil.

Yeah I don't think search is actually the solution to the problem of discovery, it was just the first avenue I tried. Although the metadata from a search engine database does open up a lot of options.

Oh sorry btw, it was not an attack against you. And I actually enjoyed your engine and found a new lisp dialect I never heard of (even though I googled that a few hundred times).
