Well AR15 sales are good for business, and piracy is not… Great world!

How does the search work?

I think what would be interesting is to get everyone who self hosts this do part of the indexing. As in, find some way to split the indexing over self-hosted instances running this search engine. Then make sure “the internet” is divided somewhat reasonably. Kind of what crypto does, but instead producing the indexes instead of nothing.

It’s a security thing. The HttpOnly cookie can’t be stolen using XSS or something like that, while a bearer token must be stored somewhere where javascript can see it.
