to one of Soundgarden's most iconic songs, Superunknown, from the 1994 album of the same name.

Well, you don't have to hide
And if you don't want to believe
Well, you don't have to try
To feel alive

Side note: when given the keywords; "lyrics soundgarden superunkown", the @Mojeek search engine had no idea how to find the lyrics to this song.

With the same search terms, DDG, as usual, got it in one. But that means I indirectly used Bing. I'm going to wash my hands now.

> How about this?

That works, in the sense that the top 3 results now contain the lyrics I was looking for.

What may have confused your algorithm is that Superunknown is the name of the album, as well as the title song. So some of the results that came up in my search were about the lyrics of the album as a whole. When I search for the lyrics of other songs on the album, using the same pattern of keywords, I get the results I expected.

Is there a way to tune the algorithm to assume song instead of album when one of the keywords is "lyrics"? If I was looking for commentary on the whole album's lyrics, I would add " album" as a keyword to clarify that.

Mojeek Search Engine

@strypey as a general purpose search engine tweaks to improve one particular type of search will often make many others worse. Varying your query can help, for example here you could try:
mojeek.com/search?q=lyrics+sou
and
mojeek.com/search?q=superunkno

By the way the original query you posted was misspelt: lyrics soundgarden superunkown - so that might have been an issue

Huh, well spotted. I tried again with the correct spelling and what do you know, it gave me the results I wanted. Classic user error 😋
