> We see Phind as a superset of ChatGPT. For the problems where search results may not be relevant, it should still function as GPT-4. Do you see it performing worse in your use case?

I did, but honestly i've not tried it in a while. I'll keep this in mind and try to give it a go again before i cancel/go back to CGPT.

> As for mistaken library versions, we’re working on developing our own index as a long term fix. But in the meantime you should be able to tell it the proper version and it should work.

That is true, i rarely give it my library versions. Though, i feel what's needed is frequently versions are ambiguous in results. In the case of something like Rust, i would take a search result, go to docs.rs/foo and see if those results exist in the lib. Usually that's the mismatched step, something i'm unsure if Phind is doing at all.

I'll try giving it versions more frequently, though.

Unrelated side note: i'd love if Phind had nothing user/pass auth or at the very least much longer valid logins. Using email on multiple devices is a bit annoying for me. For me (i use anonymous emails) it's all the downsides of auth, but plus email validation every time hah. Though this is not making me cancel or anything, i just had to login again and figured i'd vent my small annoyance :)



Gotcha, would love to hear once you do try it again.

Does it really kick you out every time you visit? Login sessions should last for at least two weeks. Do you have any privacy settings that might be interfering with our cookie?


Oh definitely not every time i visit, it's probably working as designed. It's just that across ~5 devices it feels frequent. Plus logging into other devices is made more difficult by this email-only option. Just my own personal gripe, it's probably unique to me haha.
