Kennedy Features

Full Text search, with Porter Stemming. Both gemtext and plain-text files are indexed.

Suggested queries. Kennedy recommends other queries if you don't get many results

Complex search queries. For example: "cats AND dogs", "(cats OR dogs) NOT birds".

Image Search! Kennedy indexes link text and path info to enable searching for images. There is a separate image search interface so image metadata like dimensions and type can be displayed.

File search! Kennedy indexes link text and path info for all types of files like PDFs or MP3 to enable searching for those files.

Content language classification using ngrams instead of MIME types `lang=` parameters

"text file served with wrong mimetype" detection logic. This ensures that text files are indexed and can be found via search, even if they have an incorrect MIME type.

PageRank-dervied algorithm to better determine results relevance

Clean Snippets: Search results include a snippet of content which matches your query. Your keywords are [surrounded] with brackets, and gemtext formatting is removed to make it cleaner to read.

Lines count: To help you sort quick articles from longer form content, search results tell you how many lines are in the content. If you want to be nerdy, I also include byte sizes.
