----------------------------------- AkasunSasori Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:38 pm Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Do anyone recommend a good search engine? I know google and yahoo... are there any other good ones? __________________ EDITED BY MARTIN. ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Wed Jan 10, 2007 10:50 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Well there's one easy way to find more search engines, use the ones you know and search for web search engines. as for how good they are you could read some reviews about them if you wanted to or try them out. ----------------------------------- Clayton Thu Jan 11, 2007 12:15 am Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Tony made a somewhat-relevent blog post [url=http://compsci.ca/blog/search-engine-traffic-comparison-google-yahoo-msn/]here ----------------------------------- bugzpodder Thu Jan 11, 2007 10:19 am RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- www.live.com :) ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Thu Jan 11, 2007 12:54 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- I don't really like the live search engine, there aren't as many search results as one of the larger mainstream search angines such as google. ----------------------------------- Tycoon Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:29 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- I don't really like the live search engine, there aren't as many search results as one of the larger mainstream search angines such as google. Well... if Google and Yahoo are the biggest and have been around for longer then any other ones, why do you want to know other search engines? Also, www.ask.com or Ask Jeeves is one... they are okay. I used to use it all the time but Google is just, well, greater. ----------------------------------- Silent Avenger Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:39 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Who knows why he needs to know, maybe he just want to get away from all the large corporations. Anyways another pretty good search engine is AltaVista which isn't that bad. ----------------------------------- md Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:44 pm RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Ask Jeeves is powered by Google; they *should* return the same results. ----------------------------------- neufelni Thu Jan 11, 2007 4:47 pm RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Here's another one I found. www.www.com ----------------------------------- Martin Fri Jan 12, 2007 4:59 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- As far as specialized search engines go, Google Code Search looks pretty exciting, although I admittedly haven't played with it in depth. ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Jan 13, 2007 12:17 am RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Noone will have more pages indexed than Google, seeing as Google has what is an equivalent of "infinite" resources. That being said, most "other" engines just try to reorder Google's or Yahoo's results via something other than the PageRank score. Seeing as how Google has this elite team of Engineers on staff, I don't see how anyone can outperform. Unless it's some very specialized niche topic.. maybe ----------------------------------- Tycoon Sat Jan 13, 2007 2:10 am Re: RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Here's another one I found. That reminds me, the easiest one of them all www.com just go to your URL Box, delete everything and hit CRTL + Enter :P ----------------------------------- Mazer Sat Jan 13, 2007 5:12 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- I have to ask, is nobody the least bit curious as to why someone joins the forum to ask about search engines and has a list of links to MMORPGs in his signature? ----------------------------------- Martin Sun Jan 14, 2007 1:21 am RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Good call. We got tricked. He's banned. ----------------------------------- Tycoon Sun Jan 14, 2007 8:44 am Re: RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Good call. We got tricked. He's banned. So it was a bot the whole time? wow.... ----------------------------------- Amailer Sun Jan 14, 2007 10:55 am RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Still, I found out that www.www.com exists ----------------------------------- neufelni Sun Jan 14, 2007 1:31 pm RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- I think that some user restrictions should be added to v3 to avoid these types of things. Another forum that I visit has it so that users can't have signatures, PM, or post links until they have made 100 posts. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Sun Jan 14, 2007 2:43 pm RE:Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- I dont get it, how do you spot bots? ----------------------------------- Clayton Sun Jan 14, 2007 4:05 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Sometimes you just can tell, other times it's blatantly obvious, other times, you just have to know. ----------------------------------- Tycoon Sun Jan 14, 2007 9:21 pm Re: Any good Search Engines? ----------------------------------- Sometimes you just can tell, other times it's blatantly obvious, other times, you just have to know.
