Suggestions:

1. Do a list results view like Google - you're competing on so many levels that you don't want to challenge standards unless you have massive justifications that you're UX is better. I don't think the tiles are better and even if they were a little better it wouldn't be enough to challenge the paradigm.

2. Can you (or do you) restrict search results that have a high AdBlock/PrivacyBadger score? I've always wanted that so much more than I'm concerned about my privacy vis-a-vis my search engine provider?

The list results was the first I noticed. I for some reason thought I was only getting video/image results. not a huge fan of the results style, though I could see it working for some.

Second was that I get a TON of results for foreign languages: ie, a search for "gw2 wiki" results in wiki-de.guildwars2.com wiki-fr.guildwars.com and ja.gw2.wikia.com .. 3 out of top 10, 5 out of top 15 were non english, and I dont see anywhere to filter that. That might be an edge case (where 33% of results are non-English) but it highlights the shortcoming.

On the note of thinking I was only getting video/image results... I dont see anywhere to filter by result type - which is pretty standard in other search engines now.
