Is anyone working on improving the #InternetArchive's search?

I would redirect all of my donations to such a project. The search is so bad it might as well not exist and it makes the great stuff that is in the archive pretty much entirely inaccessible.

Which is sad. I like going through historic documents and the Internet Archive has a lot of them - but they're so hard to find.
At least there's a - curated - list of collections on the front page now, that is nice.

The curation/discoverability aspect is very important for justifying an Archive's existence. After all you want to get something out of it at some point.
Making the experience enjoyable will gain you a lot of sympathy.

@solarkraft No idea, but you can ask people here (in the issues) or find some usefull tools on the page:

@solarkraft it is endlessly amazing how important of a resource archive.org is and how tiny of a focus its ecosystem gets from the whole "tech world"
