    I get the impression it might just be really hard to run your own search engine, so a new frontend is the best we can do.

      Essentially, It really isnt that hard.
      But
      A) there is no unified project for the masses.
      B) it is very hard to create a universal search engine that gives you needed info for something extremely unexpected like “reggae feline flames scanner” .

        Yeah, I mean a good search engine, comparable to Google. Even if the software is doable that’s a lot of data that has to be scraped and stored.

          It would be dfficult to keep all kinds of random things in an affordable database.

          I’m more concerned about the meaning of life. Which, conveniently is 42.
