Thank you conelion. I am super glad the UX feels great to you, and you are understanding the design advantage :)

That is a really good UX optimization find. Yes on mobile, since it is just 1 column at a time, I could remove the title label.

The label does help to anchor the column a bit more clearly and gives consistency between mobile-desktop. What do you think about that? Is the extra few pixels height more valuable? Really value your opinion!

I'll try coding it up tomorrow morning and see how it feels!

What phone are you using right now? That would be helpful for me to consider. I did increase the column width from 320 to 335 pixels based on your feedback. It does feel better. But if I make it too wide, then the content can get too big I feel.

I'll be thinking more about this feedback and will test some more. Thank you!

Hrmm, that is some deep feedback. I thought people are really into privacy right now. For personalization I'd need to add registration and profiling and controls you need to click. Would you be into that?

What types of searches are you into? Could you give me some examples to think about, that would be very helpful. Thank you!

sk55, I'm so glad the UX works for you! That was the big question if the different design would be intuitive for people.

I am hoping the swipe to see more columns of searches will open up a whole new direction allowing more specific searches to be seen quickly. You could just swipe between different modalities. And possibly jump to narrower ones like just looking at reddit or stackoverflow, or php documentation (need to add that later).

Thank you for letting me know. I think it is now fixed. Please try again now.

Thank you austin, I appreciate the feedback!

I am using Google directly through their paid API, so it is official and legitimate. Not scraping. https://developers.google.com/custom-search/v1/overview

I understand infinite scroll isn't for everyone. I will add a pagination option later. We have been using and optimizing infinite scroll on my other website picclick.com for many years. People usually like it if implemented well. I understand it isn't for you though, that is valid.

Yes Instagram is done by an instagram embed, and sometimes Instagram blocks aggressively. What browser are you using. I could test it some and try to figure out why it isn't working for you. Is your browser blocking Instagram embeds?

Great to hear that you think the UX is good. It is pretty different, so I am really wanting to know if people find it comfortable and understandable. The idea is in the future the amount of different columns and content in the columns would get better and support more search types. We do have reddit, stackoverflow, and others right now. But we could add a bunch more in the future for shopping, travel, coding.

I remember dogpile and using it. I think I was more on Altavista at that time.

ComplexSystems, glad you like it!

I don't think Google shopping has an open API, if it did, would love to add that. Right now we do have Amazon and eBay, and will try to add more.

Yes we do want to add more relevant columns from other websites. Let me know if there are specific ones that would really help your searches.

Awesome you will try it for a week. Would really value your feedback, and will try to code any changes you would like.

hndamien, awesome you like it :)

Thank you for the encouragement and feedback!

Yes clicks would be cool. I could add that later if Swurl gets more click data.

Tradeview, you mean the stock price chart? Yes that is a widget we added.

Twitter results is actually done with a Twitter embed. Maybe you have some iframe blocking thing turned on? What browser are you using? It should work.

I just made the columns a bit wider based on another person's feedback, so it should feel a bit less dense and readable for you now. I hope that helps.

Thank you for the feedback! Stackoverflow is already there, but it needs to be triggered by google results. For example https://swurl.com/?q=php+array+sort will show stackoverflow. I'll look into Quora.

What mobile device and browser are you using? I've only tested on iPhone for mobile.

Ok I made it a bit wider, I hope it helps a bit. Will think about doing 100% on mobile...

Thank you for the feedback. There is a peek of more content to indicate it is swipe-able to see more. Kind of like websites do with images, like Netflix for example.

Do you think if it was 100%, then people would still understand they could swipe?

Ok based on your feedback I changed it so Wikipedia is grounded as the 2nd column more, should help with preference and making it feel more consistent. Let me know if it feels better for you now.

Wikipedia will still need to be 1 of the first 10 Google results to trigger the Wikipedia column though.

jawerty, is there other pages/websites you would like added that would help you?

Thank you for the detailed feedback pschuegr! Awesome you like it.

Would you prefer the columns to be consistent, vs dynamic based on search? Google web results are always first.

The order of the columns is based on the Google result ranking. The Google results usually trigger the column ranking generally. For example Wikipedia will only show if Google returns Wikipedia in the first 10 results. Same with pushing Instagram order up. So it is trying to show you relevant columns depending on the search. It is only as good as Google is at it.

What is the resolution of your laptop? I can test it to try to see what you see.

Yes it could feel too dense. It is a tradeoff. I could make it more minimal, but less info will show. I'm trying to make it as consistent/uniform/hierarchical as possible to make it feel less busy. It is very different, I am hoping people could get use to it and then like it better... but I may be wrong there.

jawerty, thank you for the encouragement! I appreciate it. Yes if you could use this UX somewhere that could be cool. It is kind of a new idea for website UX. It would be cool for a music player.

For Twitter, I'm just using a simple url check pattern for now to trigger it. It isn't perfect, but works well enough for now: /^https:\/\/[a-z\.]*twitter\.com\/[^\/]+$/i

Yes there are thoughts for even more column types like github, or imdb. But often the meta isn't that great, or there is no API, or no good embeds. Seems like websites are more closed off now vs in the 2000-2010s.

Would love any feedback you have :)

These guys knew exactly what they were doing. Nice fake pr apology trying to trick your users into thinking you are clean. Example of anyone can get addicted to bad tactics and $ coming in. But you need to remember to not get a lot of PR and do grey tactics at the same time.
