Show HN: DontBeEvil.rip: Search, for developers (API, expressions, CLI)
I love this idea.<p>This is mostly just raw data, it isn't that useful (yet).<p>The security issues with using curl directly to my terminal feel a bit dangerous. I'd rather use my browser and be able to see the results over a json tree.  Providing raw access to ES has a high risk to reward.<p>The search results for <a href="https://dontbeevil.rip/search?q=python%20context%20manager%20contextlib" rel="nofollow">https://dontbeevil.rip/search?q=python%20context%20manager%2...</a> are non-topical hits on SO records. I even put the name of the python package (from stdlib no less) in the query string.<p>I was able to find what I needed on devdocs.io in less than 10 seconds.<p><a href="https://devdocs.io/python~3.10/library/contextlib#contextlib.contextmanager" rel="nofollow">https://devdocs.io/python~3.10/library/contextlib#contextlib...</a><p>In no way am I trying to discourage you, but until the basics are in place, search over arxiv abstracts is way less useful than just SO and docs (language and libraries).<p>I would recommend returning text/plain by default and .json if someone asks for it (in the url), no everyone can set headers. I'd also put an about page at the root of your site, plain text is fine.
