Driftya Search Philosophy

A search product built for deliberate discovery, readable ranking, and independent publishing.

Independent first

Smaller sites are easier to lose, so they deserve explicit room in ranking and filtering.

Readable ranking

Sets, labels, and categories should explain why something appears instead of hiding every decision behind a black box.

Search is not a feed

The job is to help people find a site, open it, and leave with something useful, not to maximize time on platform.

Independent publishing matters

Personal sites, forums, wikis, and side projects still matter because they keep context that large platforms flatten.
