RE: The STEEMIT.COM search engine stinks. Come on, Google Custom search?
The fact that Google is involved in this platform at all puts me off, the fact that is is not even that functional is additionally irritating.
I would really like more details and ideas. Did you like mine? (Some in the comments above ya.)
Yes, I thought your suggestions were good. Some Steem specific options might be good too. Primarily though, as a fan of privacy I am not a fan of any integration of Google. For this reason alone I would support an internal system in its place.
I would imagine that it helps to have Google crawl the site. So I am not against the custom search browsing Steemit.com. But it needs to be a lot more robust. The cookie-cutter search engine I see looks like 20-year-old searches with a few text ads that fill up the first screen of "results."
