We run on Google AppEngine. So we use Google for a lot of things. Building all of the pieces that make google is more than 10 people can do in a year. We have 5 developers. And most of those only came in the last 6 months. We may build ana

Other features I should have mentioned: Threaded results. If a result is cited by other results, they will be grouped so that you can see the conversation across sites. Better Social Media integration. We do Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus n

If you are going to compete with Google you might as well step in to the arena running on the same hardware. :-) Also the best targets for acquisition put Google high on the list so building things the way they would makes sense.

No. They know you tagged it a review. I could tag it review and have it be a sales copy page for a product. Our stuff knows that a review expresses an opinion, backs that up with facts, and makes a conclusion.

We have that issue because it turns out many brand pages don't have any content. We are still balancing the domain bonus, but think how many home pages for brands have no text. No text means we have nothing to analyze.

Hover over the Samuru Logo on the results. We will tell you a bit about what kind of search we think you are doing. http://www.samuru.com/?q=python+list+comprehension While we get the same top result for this, we also show that WikiHow.co

There is, but the bonus goes down as we get deep indexing. So if you check back in a minute most the time the spam will have moved down.

Selling your own ads is hard. Especially at low volumes getting started. So your choices are basically Google and Microsoft. (Chitika doesn't pay anything)

I need to look why you didn't get a message saying we don't do those kinds of searches. Disabling ads is actually pretty hard. We had Adsense running until we got kicked for having results on "Jail Bait" those two words alone are not dirty.

How do I teach 2nd graders, their 62 year old teacher, and my mom to do those things? We are focused on making interfaces that are Zero Learning Curve. Our goal is to allow you to ask for what you want and get it with out having to know how

We will as more people use us. We think that because we provide a summary of your page rather than a snippet that we drive more traffic if you are deserving of it. Snippets don't really "sell" your content or your writing style. Summaries d

Then you think wrong. Google can't tell that something is instructions. That's not something they do. It may know that ehow has a lot of pages with How To on them, but it doesn't know if those are pages with step by steps for how to do some

So you think Google knows if a piece of content is instructional? Or know that it is a Review? (not just has a rating) And you have to have all the words or a synonym of the words. But more importantly Google doesn't know what kind of conte

We have a shallow index of pages. We do a Deep index only if a page then shows up in search results.

I am enjoying it. We went with the approach of how can we make this impossible for Brandon Wirtz to game. How can we make this about the content more than a popularity contest. Now that we are both in the business of stopping spam we shoul

Summaries instead of Snippets. Document Type to Query Type Matching (looks like you are looking for a review we favor reviews, looks like you are looking for instructions we favor how to's)

I posted an explanation in the comments. I didn't post this, or expect it to be posted so I didn't write anything up in advance.

Do your search a second time. Our index isn't exhaustive yet, and we are slow if we haven't seen enough of the results pages before. We generate the summaries and a bunch of other things after something has appeared in a search result. Thi

Google has 100 people searching every thing that can be searched. We have to do the work when you do the search. We get faster the more people use us. Exponentially.

I like slash tags and Booleans, but the truth is search should work with out the need for those things. We support - to make things go away. Later we will expose some of the cooler things we do behind the scenes like "reviews" or "instructi

In what way? Writing something the meets our qualifications for "what is a review" is much harder to game than Link spamming. You can game the system only by writing content that is useful to the user. The only easy to game part is that we

Search your name a second time. It will do better. The rankings require us to have looked at all the pages a second time.

Nope it doesn't. We decided that it was hard enough getting advertising without having "adult" search. We focus on text analysis so we aren't very good at porn searches.

I didn't submit this. I didn't know anyone was submitting it. Or I would have written a post about why it is different than other search engines. Better is still up for grabs because it is new. Samuru doesn't use link authority, it analyzes

As I mentioned in comments, I didn't mark up my "code paste" so it decided the documentation was more important than my comments. The TLDR version is optimized for news at up to 5000 words. We have some other stuff for Fiction but it isn't
