This is fascinating. I just tried searching `india heat waves` and was very impressed with the results. I also really love the summarised highlights, score details, as well as the source bias. Also love your `Under-reported` section! Will definitely be making this a part of my search toolbox.

Everything today seems politicized - science, healthcare, even sports! But if you're like us and just want the facts, that's increasingly hard to come by as Google's opaque approach can seem one-sided at times or, even worse, just not credible. We built The Factual's search to make it easy to find the most credible stories across the political spectrum using a transparent ratings approach that prioritizes expertise rather than popularity. Hope you find this useful. Feedback is appreciated! PS: If you're curious about the ratings algorithm, more details are available here:https://www.thefactual.com/how-i...

As someone who does online research frequently and relies heavily on news articles, this search function is excellent for exploring a wide range of high-quality content at the click of a button. Google is fine, but when searching on news topics, it's not always clear to the reader who you are likely to see first or how reliable each site will be. This search function by The Factual represents an exciting tool and a big improvement in that regard!
