I like to think I'm one of the regularly positive responders on HN, and I am assuming you're referring to Jelly.co as the 'new search engine'.
But... it isn't a search engine at all, it's a photo based Q&A site where responders are limited to within your social network.
I have no problem with a photo based Q&A site, and about 6 months ago thought about building one myself (but thankfully I'm too focused on another project).
Seeing as you've called Jelly a 'search engine', and have launched a 'search engine' yourself, what was yours called? I looked at your previous posts and saw your OmmaGeo links, but that isn't a search engine.
I'm fine with you challenging others based on their lack of respect for the hard-work people put into their products and businesses, but please don't spew off statistics that sound somewhat outrageous.
At the same time, I've built a 'search engine' too (http://techcrunch.com/hearwhere http://techcrunch.com/hearwhere), and it was my second website (the first was a pandora type music service). Building any old search-engine isn't that challenging, but building a GREAT search service is.
Also, no need to single yourself out as non-technical, lots of non-technical people out there who are helping us technical people find our way to building great products.
