I thought this was a google product...
- hornbaker 10y agoIt pretty much is - it's built on Google Custom Search Engines (https://cse.google.com https://cse.google.com), which have been around since 2006 but never seen a lot of promotion from Google. I'm trying to bring attention to them, and make them more discoverable. If Google wants me to change the name, I will - but it's a tribute project.
- packetslave 10y agoI'm not a lawyer, nor do I speak for my employer, but yeah: you should strongly consider changing the name and branding. I like the idea and the sentiment behind it, but I think it could be done just as easily without using Google's IP.
- WhiteFoxx 10y ago"It pretty much is" no it is not.
