Thank you for sharing this, it's a great first impression.

- Clean design - Fast search results with previews - Layout options - User privacy

On the second visit, I noticed the "tags" feature: it's possible to narrow down the search results by suggested key words. Very nice user experience.

One idea: perhaps there can be a description of how to set Peekier as the default search engine (for example: https://duckduckgo.com/install).

I wonder about the practical benefits of having previews, whether it helps me find what I need quicker. The movement of the eyes while scanning through the results feels a little less efficient (scan sideways; look for beginning of next row; repeat) - compared to scanning a list straight down.

Still, the site is intriguing. I'll continue using it to see how it feels.

Another idea, not so related to the search engine feature: I wish there was an "explore" page (like on GitHub) to see what's new/popular/etc.

Thanks. There could be a description on how to set the default search engine as it is a different process on each browser.

You should get some feedback on the actual quality of the search results too :) DDG is plagued with terrible results, at least when localized to "Sweden". At a first glance, it looks like Peekier gives me Google quality results!

Where do you get your data from? Do you use your own crawlers? I wish there was a traditional list based search results page too, then I could actually consider using this. I use Startpage now, but it has some strange bugs that's been plaguing the result pages for years.

I absolutely love the previews. I think those png images take up less bandwidth than the js heavy page load. Plus it's a static image not tracking my every movement.
