I find their search amazing. What's your issue with it?

Here's just one issue:

They stem words aggressively, so searching for "repeater", which is a less common, specific term, gives you results including "repeat", a commonly used word. And there's no way to do an exact word search.

The issue is it's not indexed by Google

have you used google lately? might as well not be indexed with all the seo spam you get as top results

I just googled "how to use openllm" as an example to test your thesis, and the results look very relevant to me.

https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=how+to+...

You might want to glance again because all of those results are for a different product.

Top of the results page says:

"Showing results for how to use openlm

Search instead for how to use openllm"

FYI, specifying the nfpr=1 query string parameter will disable Google's idiot attempt to try be helpful by searching for something other than that which you want to link to.

when I click this google gives me results for “how to use openlm” a commercial product, they literally change your search term if there’s a product that fits

There was a recent post about an open source tool for indexing Discord content and making it available for Google search:
