I have an idea( prototype? ) for a search engine that could be disruptive, with a bit of luck. It has nothing to do with bangs and slashtags.
I've hired a freelancing coder to do some "wrapping up" so I could show the prototype but it is over a month now and still I haven't heard from him.
I do not want to engage too much time and resources into this (hiring stationary coders) but this really is the search engine that is closest to disrupting Google and Bing.
I believe that slashtags and bangs and non-spam results are not the way to go, my search engine tries a different route altogether which those two big engines ( Google and Bing ) couldn't probably adopt because they are simply too big.
I can produce results semi-manually and all I need is automation for that method but the coder I've hired, stopped responding over a month ago.
I really see big future in it but I do not want to invest too much effort and money into something so risky.
I wish I could show you what it is all about but it would reveal too much. And without the automated prototype, some good coder could simply copy it in like 2 weeks.
I believe that for $10000 I could present a really basic prototype of something that is disruptive to Google and Bing and if it isn't I think nothing will ever be.

- Liongadev 14y ago"those two big engines ( Google and Bing ) couldn't probably adopt because they are simply too big." and "some good coder could simply copy it in like 2 weeks." seem very contradictory.
- fear91 14y agoThe idea is really simple but the results are nothing like normal search engine (it works differently than blekko, DDG, Google, Bing etc. ). People are used to the way Google works. If they(Google) tried to adopt this new way, I am sure many people would resign / change their provider. But still for many people, it would be a better experience.
- timlindinct 14y agoIf its just about ux then you should consider that google will put that option as an extra style of search and starve off your users. Either way if it's innovative get it done, if you don't make money you've at least improved the tech that is available out there (from you or google).

- sprobertson 14y agoSounds like an interesting idea from a UX perspective. If you're looking to get this developed quickly, go ahead and contact me here: http://prontotype.us/ http://prontotype.us/ (I would have contacted you if I could find your email)
