The website isn't meant to be used for any real utility. What I wanted to demonstrate was just an alternate way to look at search.
I think we've just gotten so used to Google and its millions of results; I wondered, what would happen if I took that all away and presented only just a small handful of results?
- tomasien 14y agoThat's kind of exactly what I saw, and despite the lack of utility, I was like "Oh! This is nice!"
- DividesByZero 14y agoSometimes minimal is best. Then again, Google does have the 'I'm feeling lucky' button - maybe that ought to just display a few results for them? Either way, nice experiment!
- dave5104 14y agoThe "I'm Feeling Lucky" button doesn't actually work anymore. :(
- bencevans 14y agoYep however now you type what you want, it works some ajax magic, press tab to activate the keyboard shortcuts then hit enter which takes you to the first result. I use it without thinking about it now and I don't need to touch the mouse bearing in mind I'm on the keyboard typing the search.
- hkmurakami 14y agoThis actually seems quite nice for a slightly extended dictionary :).
- Jarihd 14y agoAre you using search results from other search engines and applying some heuristics on that or have you mined your own web data. nice start though !!!
- hfs 14y agoExcept usually Google's top results are exactly what I'm looking for. It's when they're not that those millions of results come in handy - otherwise there are tons of things I'd never find.
