This sounds interesting, and a search engine where the search results aren’t skewed by SEO certainly has potential. Unfortunately, this currently comes at the cost of being incapable of putting relevant search results first (e.g. I tried searching for “CSS margin-left” and the results leave much to be desired). So you have to be quite specific about what you are looking for, like adding “MDN” to the query – and even then it’s only the third search result.
On the other hand, it provides some opportunities for internet archeology. Not sure whether you’ve noticed but other search engines are so much skewed toward current results, two decades old stuff often seems to drop off the index. Like: they simply won’t find old blog posts that I know still exist on the web. This search engine doesn’t seem to care how old things are and will frequently produce ancient texts.
