For example, I could search "best blender reddit" and browse tons of threads and gather advice. Is there an equivalent we can do in the future with Lemmy/Kbin?

@[email protected] was kind enough to put together a search tool that does just this:

Aaand I've searched "best blender" and I found out it's... THE SOFTWARE!

Now that's a fedi answer πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

Vitamix, the "explorian" budget model blends as well as the more expensive ones but without some of the luxury features or optional accessories. Typically about 300 USD, worth it imo.

That's funny. I thought this thread was about the software, and how to find the best way to use it. Lol

Amazing! Posted 16 hours ago, love how everything is coming together around here haha. I see how they're doing it. I think it would be smart if the Lemmy/Kbin software built a keyword that was guaranteed not to change onto every page. This definitely helps fill the need!

for anyone that didn't look, they're just using the intext filter when searching to grab the default words out of the footer, thus filtering your searches.

Looks awesome!!!! Hopefully some dev will see this and just put a search bar powered by this service on the Lemmy website itself!

Doesn't seem to work for me. Tried asking some simple questions like "what is a good phone to buy?" And literally just random lemmy links came up. Not even anything related to the question, even though I've been seeing a bunch of posts in the Android community. At least something from there should've came up if it was working properly. Am I using it wrong? Do I have to specify which community? Maybe it justs needs some more time and development.

DuckDuckGo needs to get on this. It would attract users away from Google search.

Blessing and a curse of different instances, don’t use google, Google is asshoe

Idk, but I would like to find out. We need a federation search engine that only searches the federation.
