Both Perplexica and Perplexity are bad names for a search engine.
Very perplexed as to who was the smart person that chose this dreadful name for the company.
Yes, it has another definition in context to information theory; which my point is, I used the first definition like a normal person would, which is commonly associated with...
'...a state of confusion or a complicated and difficult situation or thing.' - Cambridge English Dictionary [0]
None of them can ever become a verb that makes sense like 'google it'.
Perplexity is term from information theory. It's one measure of the quality of an LM. I.e. how perplexed is my model? To an experienced researcher it's a unit of measurement like metres or kg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perplexity

Might as well call it Uncertainty.

'Perplexity' is "through the complexity".
'Perplexity' is "through the complexity",
