Result quality is something of a gamble right now: sometimes the results are really excellent, but as you’ve found they can also be pretty useless. I’m planning to use all the searches I’m getting today to construct a benchmark I can use to improve things.

On that note: what were you hoping to get out of that search? I see that Gloss is a package for doing animations, but (without knowing anything about Haskell) it seems like Google/DuckDuckGo don’t really have anything useful to offer either. (In fact the only thing I found was what I assume is your post on the Gloss mailing list: https://groups.google.com/g/haskell-gloss/c/FGNxutKmm-w)

I think it looks untuned rather than somehow broken.

Fine tuning result relevance is a pretty long and tedious process, and small problems with this can make results look very bad.
