Have you implemented any logic to prioritize official in-house documentation such as the software `man` pages and the output of the `--help` flag? I've gotten the impression that you've mainly weighted the Stack Exchange / Overflow pages in the results (while negatively ranking the information-wise ever-awful Quora and Amazon) and otherwise the scraper accesses the Bing's hits (or other search engine API you're using) in order.

Yes -- you can use https://phind.com/filters to customize your preferred sources.

Not feasible to entirely trim the results myself. Many programs host the documentation on their own domain and an absolute ton, especially smaller projects, don't have any online presence. I was wondering if you could maintain a database on Phind's end.

Have you had any issue with Phind not pulling up the right documentation?
