When the app tries to search for your question, it can do so in 2 different ways.
- Old way. Uses jsoup to grab webpage result. Pros:
- Relatively faster than current webview implementation
- Proven to work.
Cons:
- Not that fast as it should have to be.
- Search engine tends to block requests faster using this approach.
- Fails to grab some of the important text from webpage making it less accurate than it should have to be.
- Webview(Experimental). Webview is native way of loading webpages in android. Pros:
- High accuracy. Grabs each text from the webpage and hence more accurate.
- Default search engine lasts longer hence delaying the necessity to use fallback search engine.
- Potential to be very fast in future :D
Cons:
- Relatively Slow at the moment.
