As an occasional user, what I really liked in your previous version was that Phind always gave the list of sources.

So my workflow was :

- ask a question

- quickly read the given answer

- go to the main sources to decide if they are trustworthy or not

I noticed that the new version does not always give the sources, even when I ask. Is this intentional or do you plan to revert this in the near future ?

It also solves the problem of not reducing the traffic to the content creators you use.

Anyway, congratulations for making this tool and offering a free plan to test it.



Interesting, do you mind sharing some of the queries you tried? We avoid doing automatic searches for certain followups if the existing sources already contain the correct information, but we should be giving improved sources compared to the original version of Phind.


Hi Michael,

[0] is a thread reproducing what I described. In that case I would like Phind's last answer to provide me with a link to the documentation or source code of 'NormalizedLandmarkList'.

I hope you find it useful.

Unfortunately, I don't remember them anymore and I regularly clear my browser cache.

Maybe it's just the case you're describing but I'm pretty sure I was really looking for appropriate sources and they weren't provided.

If you want, I can send you my queries if I see this again.
