My point is that Google with its incomparable bigger financial background 
inevitable provides better results.
That nobody cares about the extremely dangerous knowledge about individuals, 
groups and a big part of mankind that Google and other internet giants have 
is another matter.

AFAIK the Github software system is closed source and can't be bought like the 
GitLab system. The GitLab kernel is even free.
github.com is the hosting site as gitlab.com/explore for GitLab

I have the same experience.

Don't use gitlab.com/explore, instead just use the Search edit on the top.

After I discovered that Google had a 3GByte zip file of data on me (no
videos, but 200 or so photos - the rest harvested data), I try not to
use Google any more. DuckDuckGo gives me  the exact same information as
Google would have, also supports "utilities" via the search engine -
PLUS they do not track you at all (or so they claim).

Again, shows you how SH*T websites are these days. Steps I used:

1.   Go to "www.gitlab.com"
2.   Click on the Search link (magnifying glass) shown in the
 navigation menu.
3.   Typed in "mseide" and pressed Enter.

What I got was the screenshot I posted before. The above steps doesn't
sound unreasonable to me!

I actually would say that the only working search functionally is Google, the 
value of DuckDuckGo is limited. I too make the experience that searches in 
individual sites are mostly useless.

[MSEide-MSEgui-talk] Useless searches all over the Internet

2018-07-06 Thread Graeme Geldenhuys 
Is Google, DuckDuckGo the only search functionality on the internet that
actually works???  What is going on in this world.

I went to Gitlab and searched for "mseide" and "mseide+msegui" and
neither could find any results. Then again, most websites that offer
their own search functionality act like this. WTF!

  Graeme
