Show HN: A search engine that values depth over popularity

13 pointsby vignesh_warar5 months ago
Hey HN,<p>I&#x27;m excited to introduce Graphthem, a search engine designed to explore the deeper layers of knowledge rather than just surface-level popularity.<p>While many AI search engines simply summarize top N results, we&#x27;ve found this approach often misses the many good stuff that is buried deeper in the links and references.<p>Graphthem takes a different approach. we don&#x27;t just look at the first few pages we find. We also dig into what those pages link to, so you get the whole story. This allows us to deliver answers that capture not just what&#x27;s immediately visible, but also the foundational ideas and deeper insights that inform those results.<p>Here&#x27;s a comparison between Perplexity and Graphthem:<p>Query 1: &quot;most watched youtube videos?&quot;<p>Perplexity: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.perplexity.ai&#x2F;search&#x2F;most-watched-youtube-videos-1YVwcYm5TU.9Qdn4Xx_hwA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.perplexity.ai&#x2F;search&#x2F;most-watched-youtube-videos...</a><p>Graphthem: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;graphthem.com&#x2F;search?uuid=7f0839a9-85ee-4f81-a5c9-cb4d964ae578" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;graphthem.com&#x2F;search?uuid=7f0839a9-85ee-4f81-a5c9-cb...</a><p>-<p>Query 2: &quot;what is pagerank?&quot;<p>Perplexity: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.perplexity.ai&#x2F;search&#x2F;what-is-pagerank-ieJ.4iFqTqeDwIh6pzmPuw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.perplexity.ai&#x2F;search&#x2F;what-is-pagerank-ieJ.4iFqTq...</a><p>Graphthem: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;graphthem.com&#x2F;search?uuid=c689e9d1-d3d4-4d51-8602-00f1b95331ea" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;graphthem.com&#x2F;search?uuid=c689e9d1-d3d4-4d51-8602-00...</a><p>---<p>Some related ideas I&#x27;ve explored before:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=35826540">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=35826540</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=35510949">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=35510949</a><p>I would love to hear your feedback.

Where does it fetch the results from at the first step ? Bing , Google or it&#x27;s own index ?

It gave me an error after searching &quot;Gandhi and Tolstoy relationship&quot; and said to check the browser console. Then I tried to hit the back button and it seemed to create many many pages to go back thru.
