- mooninite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Well, since Google decided to change their personalized home page to be called "iGoogle" (seriously wtf)... I don't know about that.
- wtfmate112, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8I bet google will still be better.
- dionhewson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1anyone notice it is called iGoogle 10.5 Geopard
apple + google = iGoogle
or gApple
it's coming...count on it - zrrdavatz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The thing I do not like about the common search engines (as Google and Yahoo, etc) is, that they do not recognize documents with similar content. It happens often on the Web that a post or document is spread out over more then 50 websites. Now that is great for the author but not for the searcher because it blows up your search result unnecessarily. With InfoCodex this will not happen because the linguistical database recognizes similar documents and puts them into groups. This does not blow up your search result unnecessarily.

Three things a modern Search engine should do:
1. Automatically classify a document according to its content.
2. Automatically generate an abstract of a document.
3. Generate a Heat-Map of the Contents of a Search Result.

- geminitojanus, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Surprisingly well written for a Top # article.
- senosy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0That's good for us users.

Also, I don't believe that they even mention ChaCha. ChaCha really suck to much, especially when you use the so called " search with guide " feature and someone else try to find what you want. That may sound good but it's NOT. You better try to search by your self at a good search engine than in crappy ChaCha ( or what ever like it ) - Kareena, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2but still google is unique and people like it.
- SeaOverflowing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Difficult to be as detailed as Google. It is the top search engine ever.
- Samsong, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Alright, I have a wonderful idea. Let's make up some terms about what Digg does, and point out the Del.Icio.Us doesn't do them under the same name!
- ilovethissite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Cool, finally some new search engine sites I can test my searches on the latest hacks and cracks to download and exploit. Google use to be good site at finding this type of stuff, but now thanks to its overwhelming popularity that site has cleaned itself up too much censoring out all the good things that made searching it special to me. : |
The saddest thing I noticed about Google is that when you search through it you only get 1,000 results, so much for the old billions of pages it served number they use to advertise. - dobbinmon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Thank you mister marketing man
- koalua, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Sorry for the spamming, I am a bit too enthusiastic with my search engine (which is far from perfect I admit it)
- skyer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Cool, no Yahoo and MSN?
- mrspankeh, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Its to bad they missed aftervote ( http://www.aftervote.com ) since it was there featured search engine this month.
- dobbinmon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@koalua
You've spammed digg multiple times on this (http://digg.com/users/koalua/news/commented) - well 3 times anyway... - koalua, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0As for structuration of information and "refinements UI", you might want to check the Wikipedia Search feature of the French search engine Exalead at http://www.exalead.com/wikipedia where you have the means and opportunity to refine your search on the right hand side panel. You can also browse through Wikipedia using the bottom of each result's snippet.
