2. See also these statements (but is there structural alignment?) from founders of You Search and Andi Search that I like highlighting:

Can a search engine have good VIBES? — 14watts — rajesh bilimoria
What’s the right business model for search engines? Using the VIBES framework, we can examine incumbents and emerging competitors to see how powerfully the connections between values, stakeholders and business model shape the experiences people have.
What might a search engine with good VIBES look like?
"Ideally, when structurally aligned, Values (informed by Stakeholders), shape the Information model, Business model and Experience model to serve Stakeholders well."[1]
Maybe a mashup of something like the intended ahref's Yep Search alignment with content creators[2], Kagi Search's et al.'s alignment with searchers via subscription, Mojeek's focus on privacy, & openness from Stract Search / Mwmbl? Where is innovation in governance models?

Safari: Bing, Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia
Edge: Bing, Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Yandex
Chrome: Bing, Google, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Yandex
How do you write about examples of LLM "hallucination" without poisoning the well? How do you link to them without deceiving folks?

I looked in my dissertation at how data engineers view web search as a "solitary and private professional endeavor".
With tools like ChatGPT Enterprise, will the dynamic shift? Could this change how employers perceive the use of such info/knowledge/skill gap-augmentation-tools?
Robyn CaplanWhat are your favorite readings on the theme of "trust?" Theories on trust, pontifications on trust, short stories, etc. Can include (should especially include) distrust.

Interestingly, search is a different story. If you search a phrase across line breaks (not looking at end-of-line hyphenation here):
Adobe: finds the match
Skim: fails
Voice Dream: fails
Preview: finds the match (b/c matches the terms to a page, not the query as an exact string search, highlights all matching terms)
___
Note: these are all in the default settings, I haven't looked for options to change the defaults.
