This vibes with my experience using Ai for development (sentence before too)

I want to like and use DGG, but their results miss too much, now use SearXNG, Exa, and Tavily. The return of meta-search may be at hand, performed by agents per-user rather than by a corporation, mainly because I discovered the results per-provider have a lot of unique hits
yes! And I appreciate you calling it out, I'll choose a different name for it. It's just a token like posthog or google analytics issues customer-facing tokens. You are welcome to hit the API directly using it. What is this type of token called (one that identifies a JS client)?
> have it up on GitHub, but I don't think anyone should use my implementation.
ditto, it's an experiment in near-vibe coding, which also uses Typesense for queries using BM-25 & RAG with fusion. I have the web search/fetch/crawl features persisting raw intermediate values (api responses, search result lists) because I might re-use them one day... at least good for auditability if I need to
related, it is using Hister author's prior project SearXNG as one of the search providers
How do we handle that a supermajority outside of the country are not believing in the existential risk and prefer to forge ahead to all the great things Ai might bring?

sounds about right for a hype cycle
