1996 I would say WOW
1998 hmmm but Google is better
2000 does this still works?
2008 they launch that crap as a product? is it some money laundering or what?
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Anybody slating a new search engine in the first few weeks of alpha is being too harsh. Give it a year and see how it goes. I like the way it shows my face when you search for my site, Google doesn’t do that.

Firewall Script I'm going to do a full write up on this, but I have been testing this out on a blog, that's been hacked and DDOS a few times over the last 6 months, why do people feel I want to host their Malware, why don't I just update WP time and effort I guess
Anyway I had been looking for a solution that i can install on a shared box that that I didn't have root access on.
Anyway My test is coming to an end, and I going to try and score a deal on a multiple domain license, or even try and buy a lump of the company lol

Great results -

I quite like the people matching part too as this makes it a bit different from normal search engines.
The results really are awful at the moment though, looks like using keywords in your domain works pretty well :)

I like the way the page retains the earlier listed results and erm … the colour schemes nice, very web 2.0.
Not sure about the results they seem a bit scattered.
Nutch. :-)
hmmm, slight problem with duplicates http://re.search.wikia.com/search#ruby%20on%20rails
Seems to have big problems with duplicates

That has got to be the best use of their logo I’ve seen thus far!
I am just looking at it now. The first few searches look pretty bad. I am signing up for account right now to see how I can use it to my advantage. :)
Doesn’t handle the long tail to well. So far, it’s not setting the world on fire.

Does anyone know how similar Nutch is to Google’s infrastructure? For all I know it could be like comparing apples to oranges but who knows..
When they start sending me loads of traffic it will be time to sit up and take notice…. Good luck to them.
Adam Moro:
Nutch uses hadoop, which is almost a direct clone of the Google file system and Map-reduce.
Bigtable (the google database) isn’t quite completely ported yet though.
The actual ranking algorithms are quite different, IMO, though.

I dont believe in the concept. And till now, the results are crap.
I dont think this will be a lot better in the future.
If I look for the term SEO on a dutch browser I get Chinese results?
Even a monkey could do better.
