Tested to search for a stomp rust crate and got horrible results. So, I guess that you should test the different search engines with your use case and see which one fits that.
I searched for “frog” and got some… interesting results, some more relevant than others. Not any that I’d look to for information about frogs, but I guess the site full of someone’s drawings of frogs was nice. Very 90s.
Totally agree. I posted the comment just summarizing the article and then tried it (order of operations, I know) and I could not get relevant results for the life of me. I tried queries and simple phrases and everything was unrelated to what I was looking for.
Not sure if the terms chosen were dumb luck or what, but the article may need to provide some instructions if it was so good for the author. It sucks because many people want a search engine that worked like Google from 10-20 years ago.
Tl;dr, use Marginalia for basic queries.

seems totally unusable for me too. even simple queries fail
I searched for “counter strike surf” and the first result was about the origin of the idiom “with all the bells and whistles.”
Much search engine.
