I would be very happy if such service worked (or if I could run it myself). It's my long term goal to break out of dependency on the Borg.

But the results are not even promising, let alone useful, which is very sad.

(I tried "haskell gloss terminate animation normally". That was my real search a couple of days ago.)




Result quality is something of a gamble right now: sometimes the results are really excellent, but as you’ve found they can also be pretty useless. I’m planning to use all the searches I’m getting today to construct a benchmark I can use to improve things.

On that note: what were you hoping to get out of that search? I see that Gloss is a package for doing animations, but (without knowing anything about Haskell) it seems like Google/DuckDuckGo don’t really have anything useful to offer either. (In fact the only thing I found was what I assume is your post on the Gloss mailing list: https://groups.google.com/g/haskell-gloss/c/FGNxutKmm-w)


I think it looks untuned rather than somehow broken.

Fine tuning result relevance is a pretty long and tedious process, and small problems with this can make results look very bad.
