I just added it as my default on my phone to give it a try. First impressions are that search is slow (they say they combine results from multiple search engines so maybe that’s why?) but the few searches I did returned what I expected from any search engine.

Thanks for posting this! I hope it turns out to be a good enough to keep as my default!

It's up as sort of a beta right now so sorry about any performance issues. I'll commit more resources as the use case expands

Welcome! Do you have any concerns regarding amount of people using it vs server costs?
