Lenses should allow a higher number of domains [Ultimate plan]

alxjsn

It would be great if lenses can utilize larger lists and potentially more granular control similar to Brave Goggles. For example if I wanted to create a netsec lens like this: https://github.com/forcesunseen/netsec-goggle/blob/master/netsec.goggle

Another possibility would be to allow a 20 or even 30 site lenses for Ultimate plan users (there is more to work with in terms of cost). Would that work?

Vlad That would be great, although it may not satisfy everyone's use case, but for the majority of power users I guess it would be enough.

30 is not much for my usecase
I wont be able to include all my favourite blogs about security in a single lens then
but it's a huge improvement

I use lenses maybe 20 times a month and would not switch to Ultimate for more included domains.

I'd switch to Ultimate for this - the use case I have is programming related:

In a project I'm working on there are ~60 external dependencies. As I'm doing framework/language upgrades I'd like to be able to use a lens to search the issue trackers of only those repositories for specific terms to find out if deprecations/removals are handled or if there are open issues relating to a search term. Most are Github (90%) and a few are Gitlab (10%).

This could effectively be a really powerful documentation/code search as well, which I use Dash for right now.

A hard limit kind of sucks for this use case as some projects could have 100+ repos in the lens, but even if it was limited to only Github/Gitlab it would be really useful.

petttt A hard limit is in place only to control cost as if somebody pasted a list of thousand websites in cost per query will likely shoot up to $1/query in our current implementation. We'd love to fix this this is why were are exploring ways to do this.

Upvoting the idea of allowing a higher number of domains. My use case is very similar to the ones mentioned above: I'm often doing research that depends on citing experts in the field and avoiding the most search-optimized posts, so I'll often search 10+ blogs from approved experts to see their takes on a topic. I use Google's Programmable Search for this, but it's pretty clumsy. Definitely didn't understand the costs at play until seeing this thread, but this feature would bump me to a happy Ultimate plan user 🙂

NickM How many websites do you typically need?

Vlad Rounding up a little, about 30 or so for my biggest list. I subdivide them into categories (cybersecurity experts, coding experts, etc.) so each search is bigger than 10 but not quite a bulk search.
