Hey, great project - the more competition in this space the better. To be honest, at the moment the algorithm doesn't return any sensible results for anything (at least that I can find), but I hope that you can find a way past this as it's a great place to have a project.
I've included some search terms below that I've tried - I've not cherrypicked these and believe they are indicative of current performance. Some of these might be the size of the index - however I suspect it's actually how the search is being parsed/ranked (in particular I think the top two examples show that).
