I like the UX, but the results are full of content farms and weird ranking for the query "golang parser" (https://you.com/search?q=golang+parser). OTOH it is much faster than kagi. First result is good: pkg.go.dev/go/parser Second result looks like a content farm: golangdocs.com/golang-parser-package Third result looks like a valid Chinese search result, but it's a duplicate of the first result and also _very_ weird that it would rank that highly: golang.cm/pkg/go_parser.htm Then the next two results are content farms: golangexample.com/tag/parser/ golangexample.com/a-dead-simple-parser-package-for-go/ Then a valid result from a low-starred GH project: github.com/prataprc/goparsec Then a good result: blog.gopheracademy.com/advent-2014/parsers-lexers/ Then a random seemingly unrelated academic paper: www.arxiv.org/abs/1505.08075 Then a val
