Currently it does combine tokens into keywords; two maximum at the moment but I will probably expand on that. The current thing I'm dealing with is that it's not great at the fallback if it doesn't find that specific combination, which I'm guessing is the situation here.

To demonstrate, there are no results for "wurlitzer": https://clew.se/search?q=wurlitzer

And the "suggestions" path which is filled in using keywords from the database has nothing for "synth design", meaning that specific combination doesn't appear in the index at this time: https://clew.se/suggestions?q=synth+design

It's a pretty small index, only 30k words. Enough for the testing stage I'm at but it'll definitely need to be scaled up significantly before this is fully ready to go.

That would pretty well explain it - the oddity of the single result that popped up from the depths to the first page made us wonder if something else was happening. Thanks for the response!

@amin our leading concern reading the methodology is that white reactionaries with money to burn on disseminating their propaganda will be overrepresented in search results, which isn't great - there are a lot of alt-right news sites with no ads

no idea how to address that, though
