Hmm I tried searching "elixir" and found nothing related to the language. HN Algolia gives me exactly what I want. On what basis do you say it's "not helpful"?

Yes the search doesn't work very well for one word. Try to input an url about elixir like this: https://hn-recommend.julienc.me/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombi...

I may have used the incorrect term. HN Algolia is effective for searching for a particular story. However, I am unable to utilize it to find related posts on the same topic that do not contain the same words.

Out of curiosity related to the word vectorization algorithm...why does one word not perform as well? Whats the cause/rationale?

It's pure speculation, but articles embeddings are computed using 512 tokens, which is roughly equivalent to 400 words. I think that using only one word does not allow the model to fully understand the context.
