On yesterday's #serci Update post (https://social.jayvii.de/objects/MVKQo4c6huo), today I finished a massive overhaul of the web-frontend for this Meta² search engine.

Besides looking a lot slicker, it should be a lot easier to understand for new users now. The list of search engines can now be searched and filtered and your personal default search engine can be chosen easily with a single click! I also added descriptions for each search engine, to make the list easier to browse and understand.

Feel free to try it yourself! https://search.jayvii.de

Oh, and the re-factoring increased performance by 33%! Searching on average takes 0.12s before redirect (same as before), but loading the web-frontend takes only 0.18s instead of 0.28s now. Really happy with how it turned out. Still: any suggestions are more than welcome!
