The searching for usage of fonts is a useful feature. But for identifying fonts on specific websites, I find the browser dev tools to be more than sufficient. There is a “fonts” tab that lists all the fonts in use and their attributes like weight, any variable axis, etc.

Variable Axis and other attributes are pretty feasible now, I'm already parsing the metadata for font tables values to dedup font files, so extending it should be pretty straight-forward.
I'll investigate.

If you're not already using it, the read-fonts and skrifa crates from https://github.com/googlefonts/fontations can parse variable font data (as well as pretty much anything else you might want out of an opentype font).
