Probes

We’re continuing to develop our set of indieweb discovery features. Our first approach, Navicomputer, asks the user to paste the text of a webpage and let us retrieve similar content. This was developed with the objective of enabling web authors to easily find and link each other, but it’s not great for casual browsing. For casual page discovery we followed up with Exploration Mode that lets the user choose a category and explore from there.

We recently added a keyword/tag search feature called Probes that’s less demanding than full-post search and more granular than Exploration Mode. Probes is largely identical to tag search UX found elsewhere on the web with two exceptions:

1. The results aren't exhaustive - not every post with a given keyword shows up in that keyword's results.
2. Probes doesn't pull from a curated list of tags but rather snippets of the pages in the Outer Web
