Hi HN,

I’m working on an Israeli search engine with a focus on deeper search across Israeli, academic, and scientific content.

One feature I recently added is that users can adjust their own search boost factors. For example, they can give more or less weight to title, domain, URL, language, document type, or page content.

Search remains anonymous and ad-free.

I’m interested in feedback from people who care about search, indexing, crawling, privacy, and ranking transparency:

Would you find this kind of user-adjustable search ranking useful?
