It feels like the engine understand well the query, but for test searches it didnt show better results than Google, it actually gave me almost the same answers. So if they use their own index thats pretty good. But not the Next Google

You might be missing the point. Try a difficult question instead of a regular web search. Something like this. "Why did Twitter add Elon Musk to its board of directors, and what impact did that have on twitter's share price?"
Then click on "View in Reader" on the results. This is not like Google dude.
People on the Discord are trying crazy questions like that and reporting what it does good or bad on. It screws some up but it is cool. It finds stuff Google doesn't.
I tested "What impact adding Elon Musk to Twitter board of directors had on twitter's share price" and I agree with you the result is much better that when you search the same thing on Google.
To be honest that's impressive for complex queries
My biggest problem with it is that the alpha version still has errors and is weak for searches like local businesses. Also, big problem is I'm in Australia and everything is in imperial units. Having said that, however, I've been using it since it became available a few weeks ago and it has already improved a surprising amount. And the question answering if you ask specific-enough questions can blow your mind.
