Show HN: A reactive search engine

10 points by rainysunday 14y ago ↗ HN

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.

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.

Any feedback or feature requests are much appreciated.

I integrated HNSearch as well (not yet linked from the main pages):

I found some interesting posts when testing it:

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.

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.

Nice work.
