The idea is really good, but there is still a long way to go.<p>Searching for &quot;python simulation&quot; (a suggested search, btw) yields results such as &quot;introduction to programming lecture 23&quot; - short of watching the lecture, how am I supposed to judge it&#x27;s relevancy? There is no description, and the title contains neither &quot;python&quot; nor &quot;simulation&quot;.<p>Also, the email sign up modal is enough to not make you want to return.

I tried to look for some math topics, such as &quot;harmonic analysis&quot;, &quot;lie algebras&quot; and &quot;model theory&quot; - unfortunately none of the matches were relevant for any of the queries

Hey this is pretty cool! I looked for a specific CS topic and the result was definitely better than Google&#x27;s. I&#x27;ll probably keep using this!

Looks interesting. As someone going through all of Dr Jordan Peterson&#x27;s lectures, I put him in the search and only one of his talks (with Joe Rogan) came up. Please add his stuff if you get the chance (he has a YT channel). It&#x27;d also be nice to be able to find like-minded talks.<p>Also, when pressing the back button through some searches, the URL changed with me but the results stayed the same.

As someone who does a lot of learning online, I can see the usefulness of this! It&#x27;d be a lot easier for me to use if the filters on the side of the screen if they matched my search queries more closely. Currently, searching for &quot;react.js vs. angular.js&quot; leads to Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton being options in the &quot;speaker&quot;filter.

Just curious, is this using React&#x2F;Searchkit&#x2F;Elasticsearch under the hood?

It shows ApplicationError. Got a HN hug of death, or are you updating?

Good initiative. Suggestion: The content could be categorized.For example - the lecture of MOOCs should be at one place.<p>Problem: Say, I am browsing page 5 for some query and I change the query, it shows page 5 of the current query rather than page 1 and if the content of current query is not enough to reach page 5, it shows &quot;No results found, sorry!&quot;.

Great project Gary. Thanks for sharing (and building). I would love to see this kind of content get some love.

Great project, thank you for your time!<p>(minor bug: Searching for &quot;top 20%&quot; results in &quot;URIError: URI malformed &#x2F;public&#x2F;lecture_search.bundle.js?v=1.0.22:79346&quot;)

Nice! That&#x27;s going to be very useful when learning a new topic&#x2F;technology<p>How are the hits ranked? I imagine just time? Do you have a list of all sources you used?

I think a language filter would still be good.

Great resource but your filtering needs some serious work. I managed to filter myself into a corner with no way to get back.

Pagination doesn&#x27;t seem to be working, I need to change the URL to go to page 2 and so on when filtering a cathegory.

Really interesting, are you searching through Youtube? Wonder what other sources that you are getting the source data out of
