It's actually quite hard problem to solve; even Larry Page acknowledged that like 10 years ago[1] and nobody is even close to solving it, not even Google. My opinion is that LLMs are good step towards answer machine type of search engine. Perhaps the ultimate search engine would be something like Elon Musk's Neuralink[2] brain-computer interface where chip implant could read your thoughts and know your feelings and based on that give you "perfect" results. That would be really personal, I mean like on another level of directly personal. Now all we have is indirect personalisation where search engine gathers everything it can about you and assumes what you would want to see. [1] ▶ this video [2] link
That's a really good point. I'll update the site to have a default video in the text field so that you can have a quick and easy way to test the site without thinking about a video you want to try. In the meantime, I've compiled some URLs that you can paste into the text field!

This reminds me of something Larry Page said at TED this year: I say, wouldn't it be amazing if everyone's medical records were available anonymously to research doctors? And when someone accesses your medical record, a research doctor, they could see, you could see which doctor accessed it and why, and you could maybe learn about what conditions you have. I think if we just did that, we'd save 100,000 lives this year. So I guess I'm just very worried that with Internet privacy, we're doing the same thing we're doing with medical records, is we're throwing out the baby with the bathwater, and we're not really thinking about the tremendous good that can come from people sharing information with the right people in the right ways.
