Where'd you get your curated list of forums? Big search of running VBulletin instances? :)
How did you go about finding the ~3000 forums? That's my main hurdle with the idea.
That's basically Mecca for us coffee geeks :-) so consider adding it.

Pretty creative. Never seen a search engine actually return results like that, but like it's worth a try I guess?
Generic results from a few corporate entities has become ubiquitous, but here you can type whatever and it seems to give a broad range of results.
Wow, this actually feels like a search engine. It’s been a while since I’ve felt this.
How do you rank the results?
Anyway, I'm sure I'll use this again.
Any chance for a Firefox extension?
You mention a Slack workspace. How do I find that? (I don't use Slack outside of work much)
- I need a date range option. I'm searching for something about a piece of software and getting answers from around 2011, so far out of date that it's useless.
- Really need some padding on the left side of the page ;)
Instead 8 out of the first 10 results were Hacker News? The other two were from from mechanics.stackexchange.com reddit.com/r/CarsAustralia, but neither were about a VS Commodore (instead they were about Nissans).
On the other hand, the very first Google result was literally a topic titled "replacing VS heads gasket" on justcommodores.com.au.
It's an awesome idea but the results definitely need some work.
I did not get any results for "Kardashians"
I just cannot add CrowdView to search engines in Firefox. Any idea how to fix that?
I've added this search engine by adding "https://crowdview.ai/search?q=%s" in Firefox's search settings. I'll be trying this again.
Like many of you, I find Google results to be full of SEO spam and have resorted to adding "site:reddit.com" or "site:news.ycombinator.com" to all my queries (since 2015!). Otherwise, it's really hard to figure out "what does a genuine, real life human think about this thing?".
But limiting my results to just Reddit isn't ideal because so much great content exists elsewhere. Lots of great information and conversations have moved elsewhere, and niche forums are still alive on the web! But it's impossible to find these places because they rank so poorly on Google. So I built a search engine across a curated list of these, making sure to remove any kind of SEO junk (blog spam, listicles, etc).
There's also a chrome extension that surfaces these results alongside Google, so you don't have to remember to keep coming back.
Please try it out and share any feedback! (and if you're interested in this topic, join the Slack)
