Looks very decent. Make it configurable and I'll pay for a subscription.

What I mean is instead of indexing the entire internet with an adhoc ranking, trying to guess what I want, let me whitelist and blacklist domains and let me configure the ranking. I'd begin with stackoverflow, hackernews and arxiv and probably blacklist pinterest and other paywalled gardens.

From time to time your search engine could suggest search results from other sources, so I could update my whitelist.

It could index pdf files or even show their summary with some ml model, perhaps for an additional fee.

Another idea that's been bothering me for a while is searching for movies or songs. If you figure how to show me the most interesting (according to my filters) movies in 2020, I'd pay for that. Even more so for music.

This comment made me envision a tabbed results page with my results from my curated, first choice sources, and a second tab of general results based from the search engine's best guess algorithms.
