Show HN: A new search engine UX I've been working on in my free time

I really like this. I've been working on my own personal search engine and might use a ux like this now. Question, how are you detecting whether the results are twitter posts/users and not random twitter pages (like the twitter career page for instance)? Also have you considered adding options to create this type of view for any page that has meta tags for title/desc/image and a logo?

jawerty, thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate it. Yes if you could use this UX somewhere that could be cool. It is kind of a new idea for website UX. It would be cool for a music player.

For Twitter, I'm just using a simple url check pattern for now to trigger it. It isn't perfect, but works well enough for now: /^https:\/\/[a-z\.]*twitter\.com\/[^\/]+$/i

Yes there are thoughts for even more column types like github, or imdb. But often the meta isn't that great, or there is no API, or no good embeds. Seems like websites are more closed off now vs in the 2000-2010s.

Thanks for your response. Also that's cool you're probably right about meta tags open graph is broadly used but not uniform in their content. As for additional sites Stackoverflow and quora would be great additions.

Thank you for the feedback! Stackoverflow is already there, but it needs to be triggered by google results. For example https://swurl.com/?q=php+array+sort will show stackoverflow. I'll look into Quora.

Oh nice! Do you have a way of having the user add their own?

Wooo, love it visarga. That is good input and suggestions.

I don't usually use Arxiv. Do you have some example queries where you would like to see a Arxiv column?

Also same with HN? That is a bit of a harder one. I guess I could trigger a HN column if there are tech news type results returned from Google.
