I re-caulked my bathroom tub yesterday and figured I’d search for “caulk”. Your search led me a blog with a nice post about a bunch of smaller tasks like this to help keep a home running well. While most searches for lists like this seem full of SEO and affiliate links, the result I got from your indie blog search just seems like a nice post, with a friendly tone, looking to share information they think would be helpful to others. It has links out to other resources, but as far as I can tell, they are just simple link to aid the reader.
I tried comparing this to Kagi’s small web filter, where the search returns 0 results. So it seems like you have the beginnings of something unique and useful here.
Alex Schroeder suggested to add a search engine on top of people's feeds as a way to search the Indieweb without adding even more crawlers to our collective infrastructure. I think it's a pretty cool way to quickly see what others have written on any given topic.
Nice work!

A few years ago there was an Ask HN thread asking people here to show off their personal sites (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30934529). Reading that thread gave me the idea to build indieblog.page (previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31002171). The list of blogs grew to nearly 5000 in the last years.
