   @lrhodes Insert dinosaur meme where T-Rex points at the incoming comet and exclaims "but the economy!"
   I've often wondered why the search results on these sites are so bad, but ever since I tried to add search to Emacs Wiki I realized that it really is a problem that I can't solve in a few hours or days of coding, and so I'm also relying on a search engine (DDG) to provide search for Emacs Wiki.
   If only there was an easy solution to plug in (that doesn't require me to install the whole Lucene infrastructure), that also works with my particular setup. Emacs Wiki hosts pages in multiple languages, all in the same namespace, so per language stop words and canonicalization and all that need more fiddling.

     On the flip side, imagine how much as revenue Bing and Google would lose of programmers started going directly to StackOverflow to find answers.

     I expect that one of the first groups to really feel the negative impacts of GAN search will be programmers, since they use search for everything.
