Ten years ago, the EU sponsored Exalead to become a Google competitor. Nowadays the company is owned by Dassault Systèmes (3D CAD Catia): https://www.exalead.com/search/ https://www.exalead.com/search/ , http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Quaero-Erster-Vorlaeufer-der-europaeischen-Suchmaschine-110725.html http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Quaero-Erster-Vorlaeu...
Other mentioned DuckDuckGo, but one has to differ. DDG uses the Yahoo search API, and Yahoo itself uses the Bing search from Microsoft. DDG parses the query string and tries to add some snips from Wikipedia/Yelp/etc. There are only 4 big search engines left: Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidoo. There are some minor ones like Gigablast, Exalead and now Deusu. And there are meta search engines like DDG and Yahoo.
@Deusu dev: Good luck with the refactoring from Pascal to JavaScript, sounds like a good idea! Do you use a page-rank or how else do you score?
- deusu 12y agoNo pagerank. But I use backlink-counts and Alexa.com data. Also position of keywords in url, title and snippet. Length of url and number of elements in the url are also a part.
