Just an example,
I have created a Lens with the following content:
docs.python.org/*, *.pydata.org, greenteapress.com/*/html/*, allendowney.github.io/*
searching for something like "think python" I'd expect data from greenteapress and allendowney to come out first.
obviously not the case:
whereas if I just search with:
think python site:docs.python.org/* OR site:*.pydata.org OR greenteapress.com/*/html/* OR site:allendowney.github.io/*
at least I get what I expected as first result:
but unfortunately results are not grouped, and I don't get all the results I'd expect (the ones from allendowney.github.io/* would not appear)
honestly I've stopped using lenses as results are always less good then regular search.
But It's a pitty, because Small Web as a Lens and more generally Lenses, could actually be a nice thing if search results were good.
I think you could achieve something nice replacing lenses with the ORed versions and just filtering duplicates and creating group results.
But I guess that wouldn't work for a huge list like the Small Web...
