Can you vibe code an entire search engine? This ex-Googler tried.
NEWS | 29 June 2026
Former Google engineering leader Hugh Williams is back with another fascinating Claude Code experiment. The project includes features you'd expect from a modern search engine: autosuggest, query-biased snippets, related searches, trending topics, and AI-generated summaries. Williams says he wrote zero lines of code himself, relying entirely on Claude Code. That's technically true, with an important caveat: the underlying search engine is based on an information-retrieval system he helped build in the early 2000s. Instead, Williams argues Claude Code works best when paired with deep technical expertise.

On TikTok, posts using the hashtags "liver health," "liver support," and "fatty liver" have amassed a collective 161.5 million views in the last 90 days, and many of the most-viewed videos feature influencers selling supplements. Dr. Robert J. Fontana, a professor of internal medicine and liver specialist at University of Michigan Health, said a number of factors have converged to raise public awareness of liver health.
