Cool Search Engines That Are Not Google
- baddox 17y agoI don't use Google because it's cool, I use it because I'm familiar with it and it's always been fast. Other browsers probably rival it in speed now, and in fact I switched my browsers to Bing a week or so ago just to force myself to try it, and I've rarely been disappointed or even aware of differences with its results. As for niche browsers, I really don't think there's a market for them (especially for geeks or hackers) when a nominally clever google search can yield as good or better results.

- baddox 17y agoMy first and third mentions of "browser" were stupid mistakes, I meant "search engines." I was thinking about how I had switched my browsers to use Bing as their default search engine, then daftly used the word "browser" over and over.
- jimmybot 17y agohttp://www.dogpile.com/ http://www.dogpile.com/ doesn't make sense on two levels to me. First, they republish results from a bunch of major search engines, including Google, and they are all okay with that? My understanding was that Google doesn't generally allow something like this. Second, how are they combining results? If they have some objective function that can rank results given a keyword, then what are they using Google, Ask, and friends for? Free web crawler + web spam filter?
