I hope you can appreciate that Mojeek is a startup vs the trillion dollar valuations of Bing and Google.

Vanity queries are pretty common for trying new engines.

It's also not a very intuitive query. Maybe you're conditioned to using Google and their vast history of query data that no one else has.

Your point was what?

What would have been an intuitive query?

My point was that vanity queries often look for very specific things, and beyond Google and Bing you're struggling to get that. That's the current reality. Maybe ask yourself why.

It's not an intuitive query because it yields about precisely zero results with those two words in a consecutive manner, on Google. You're chucking two spaghetti words together and expecting the search engine to figure out what you mean, which is fine to an extent but OTOH, wth do you mean?
