Cool. We definitely need fresh takes on search.
I think historically too many have been attempting to copy Google. It was a bad idea when they were great, and it's a worse idea when they're floundering. An imitation very rarely exceeds what it imitates. Is why after untold amounts of Microsoft R&D money Bing is still google-but-kinda-worse.
