What might a search engine with good VIBES look like?

"Ideally, when structurally aligned, Values (informed by Stakeholders), shape the Information model, Business model and Experience model to serve Stakeholders well."[1]

Maybe a mashup of something like the intended ahref's Yep Search alignment with content creators[2], Kagi Search's et al.'s alignment with searchers via subscription, Mojeek's focus on privacy, & openness from Stract Search / Mwmbl? Where is innovation in governance models?

I looked in my dissertation at how data engineers view web search as a "solitary and private professional endeavor".

With tools like ChatGPT Enterprise, will the dynamic shift? Could this change how employers perceive the use of such info/knowledge/skill gap-augmentation-tools?

Interestingly, search is a different story. If you search a phrase across line breaks (not looking at end-of-line hyphenation here):
Adobe: finds the match
Skim: fails
Voice Dream: fails
Preview: finds the match (b/c matches the terms to a page, not the query as an exact string search, highlights all matching terms)

Note: these are all in the default settings, I haven't looked for options to change the defaults.

TIL: (on MacOS) When selecting and copying text from a PDF that has line numbers[1], Adobe and Voice Dream Reader segment the main text from the lines (the selection does not get 'polluted'[2] by the numbering). Selecting in Apple's Preview and Skim includes the line numbers (and the watermark).
___
1. At least for this particular PDF I am looking at, different PDFs may perform differently.
2. Pollution here is clearly a user intent specific word. Some use cases may want line numbers included.

Setting this down here so I can focus on my dissertation... I have several bits that engage with this question but cannot pursue it further at this moment. Interested in looking more into collectivist/mutualist epistemologies, or how speech-acts and artifacts can reinforce conceptions of knowing as a shared endeavor. More than knowing or expertise as embedded in networks or distributed across people and artifacts, but how folks might respect and responsibilize around such an onto-epistemology?

Sent the completed draft to committee.
Now we wait and see.
And work on applications, and do the dishes and the laundry and don’t look back. But stay flexible for edits and don’t trip over ourselves.

16 days until the diss filing deadline
Figuring out what's left. A lot.
Also tried to get ChatGPT to help me fix my pandoc headers so the sections were not in ALL CAPS and it kept suggesting I use \MakeSentenceCase{ on the page number... So, fancyhdr docs FTW, again.
