I believe that a search engine without tracking and personalisation needs a better way to refine your search. This is what I am trying to build with Kligl.<p>http://kligl.com<p>You can click on any word in the snippet to add this word or remove pages that contain it. Clicking on a date should let you change to sorting by date, etc. - instead of searching for an option in the second page of the advanced search options.<p>Any feedback or feature requests are much appreciated.
I integrated HNSearch as well (not yet linked from the main pages):<p><a href="http://kligl.com/hnsearch/" rel="nofollow">http://kligl.com/hnsearch/</a><p>I found some interesting posts when testing it:<p><a href="http://kligl.com/hnsearch/#search+sort:old+type:comment+user:pg" rel="nofollow">http://kligl.com/hnsearch/#search+sort:old+type:comment+user...</a><p>led to<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2459" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2459</a><p>Also this:<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=259132" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=259132</a><p>Funny, that the idea of a search engine for the best 10k hackers from PG's essay on start-ip ideas is already 3 years old.<p>Another one:<p><a href="http://kligl.com/hnsearch/#dropbox+sort:old+type:comment" rel="nofollow">http://kligl.com/hnsearch/#dropbox+sort:old+type:comment</a>
I really like it. It's fast, very intuitive and I can definitely see a use for it. The ability to filter results "live" by just clicking on a word is a powerful UI addition. Certainly easier then typing in advanced search operators into the search box.<p>Nice work.
