I found another example for my suggestion to offer search by intent.
When I search for “ubuntu snap store powershell” the keyword “ubuntu” pushes my preferred result (snapcraft.io/powershell) down the ranking.
Note that I have explicitly turned site clustering off with the URL parameter &si=0
# Query
ubuntu snap store powershell
# URL
https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=ubuntu+snap+store+powershell&cdate=1&dlen=0&rp_i=0&si=0
# Decoded URL
https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=ubuntu+snap+store+powershell&cdate=1&dlen=0&rp_i=0&si=0
# Result

What I’d want is more like the site: results for keywords with the same semantic meaning as above.
# Query
site:snapcraft.io powershell

And, of course, the reason why I keep asking for a new operator is I don’t know the precise host (snapcraft.io) before I search. So, I’d want to create the set to search in with the keywords “ubuntu snap store”.
So the prospective search would be something like:
# Query
ubuntu snap store AND powershell
I’ve changed my mind. And now I think it makes sense to use “AND” as the explicit search operator that would trigger the new algorithm.
