Sounds very innovative, I'll have to try this some time. Google DOES show some fairly irrelevant results from time to time, this might be a good solution. smile.gif

I don't think it is possible for ANYTHING to kill Google, simply because it is well known, has a high reputation, and many people rely on their services. However, looking at this site I can see it's obvious merit, and I have to say it has the potential to become a close competitor. I would really like to see Google implement a rating system for their own search results - they can generate quite a lot of useless results sometimes and it would be good to have some human interaction involved in deciding the relevant ones...

Well, yeah... I suppose that's like if a really nice Linux Distro came out and someone called it a Windows Killer, maybe it's good, but too many people already use windows, and wouldn't feel like switching to something else. HOWEVER, I do think Firefox has the potential to dominate IE sometime in the near future, it's already way better, so unless IE8 is a massive improvement on IE7... Yeah... happy.gif

It sounds interesting but I think it is more work then it needs to be to make a good search engine. Granted google has made it more complicated then it should be with google rankings and all that other stuff, however, when I do wikipedia to look at stuff I am not to fond of their search methods just because your topic has to be really spefici and even if it you usually don't get results and so I think maybe combine the search engine method from this site to wiki to make it better. Although wiki and google made an exclusive deal just because you usually see wiki page in the first ten results, and besides all it is is a wikipedia clone with a better seach engine nothing more, but I guess it is a wait and see to see where this website goes.
