A custom full text search implementation!

It won't catch everything but it makes finding interesting and like-minded magnitudes easier than painfully spamming hashtags.

@andybaio it's a great idea, and you might not need to wait!

I remembered seeing something like this for tech sites, and while I can't find it I did get some interesting results by searching for:

["curated search engine"]

I've also seen the idea called "boutique" or "custom" search.

Some people emulate this by doing a search with `site:reddit.com`, for example.
