Show HN: A "How-to" search engine that explains with text and visuals

https://howtosearch.vercel.app/
1•rambobambo•3mo ago
Hi HN,

I’ve been experimenting with a different kind of search engine. Instead of just giving you a list of links, it generates both text and visuals to explain answers.

Think of it as:

You search “How to tie a tie?” → you get an explanation + illustrations.

Or “How to hold a coffee mug like Elon Musk?” → quirky, but fun demo results.

I believe this can help people learn faster by combining step-by-step clarity with visuals.

Right now it’s still early:

Works well for many “how-to” queries.

Some edge cases = no info yet.

Focused on everyday tasks, learning steps, and explanations.

I’d love feedback from this community:

What “how-to” queries would you test?

What would make this genuinely more useful than a normal search engine?
