This is my experience after many months using you.com as my default search engine.
What is you.com?
you.com is a search engine more organized than other search engines because it grouped search results which come from some common websites like GitHub, StackOverflow, etc.
Customizable Search Results
One of the most interesting feature of you.com is customizable results where you can choose your favorite website to get search results from with more priority. It is very useful feature for me as a full stack developer.
Cards View and Side Drawer
This is also useful feature where you.com display search results from the same website as a group of cards with horizontal scroll. Not only this, you can also click on any card to open side drawer which display the details of the card without opening the link and going out you.com. This feature will make your search faster and more efficient.
YouChat
One of my favorite feature in you.com is a chatbot like ChatGPT, Bard, etc.
you.com is the first search engine which embedded this feature directly inside it and you can ask it anything and get the answer immediately without opening any website, in addition it will give the references of the answer if you want to read more.
Honestly it isn't as strong as ChatGPT because it can't generate long text but it is very useful if you want to get some information fast. If you want to get long text, you need to use YouWrite service embedded inside you.com, it is also impressive feature which provides many options to write emails, cover letters and many more.
This model can also draw charts to provide more information if it is asked about some business or science topics.
I believe this language model will be more useful because they work to make it stronger in the future.
YouImagine
It is an AI model similar to Midjourney which can convert text to image, where you can write the description of the image and it will generate it. This feature has some limits but it suffices for simple images. I think they will improve it in the future to compete other text-to-image models.
YouCode
This feature is for developers to help them write, debug and analyze code easily by asking YouCode what they want. It supports most programming languages and frameworks. You can use it as an assistant developer which will work as a second brain with you to do your tasks efficiently.
Conclusion
I think you.com has a big opportunity to be one of the largest search engines in the future because of too many features which it offers and I think they will improve it more and more to make it fully-featured reliable search engine.
Personally it is the best search engine I have ever tried during my experience and it will be my default search engine for a while.
