    Yeah the .ws domain name was the only name avaliable for the name I had selected. ( I'm still considering other names ) but this is just a simple project for myself. I really don't see it becoming commerical quite yet. But when it does and when it starts to become profitable I would consider trying to acquire the domain names from the individuals/companies who own them.


    @Boothking

    Actually it really depends on your search. Some queries return more some return less. I'm working on how to display more results. I'm sure it would be easy but its something that isn't on the top priorty although it is something I want to do at a later point. The next feature I want to release is a question engine. I actually will be working on it tonight and should be finished at least in a working condition by morning. But my work habbits are pretty bad I skip around a lot working on diffrent things so i'm not quite sure ( I have severe ADD ) if It will actually get finished tonight but hey the thoughts there.


    I'm also working on another feature called SmartSearch it takes keywords like News, Stock, Weather ect and displays the content based on your location that is closest to you. But all in good time


    Once again many thanks to everyone who has posted a reply. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to answering this post.

    Me either I through it together in less than 5 minutes just to have one. I'm not even sure if I'm going to keep the same name. I love seek it. I think it sounds wonderful I just don't have the top level extensions that I want but it's okay. I will be working on the design once I have the functionality down. I don't want to design it first then have my features as I never know what all I will have until I'm finished.

    Your search box doesn't support Unicode .. It will be good to add Unicode too..

    About Sponsored Results , are the results sponsored ?
    Good search

    @walkmanzone - dude thats awesome.

    @ziya - Well I eventually will have sponsored search results. The results are 100% Organic but will eventually have sponsored results to the right hand side, and possibly on top of the main results. The finished product will have unicode support

    @jbrooksuk - yeap, I was really thinking about using .ws as Web Search which would help embed what we do and the .ws so I can say something like SeekIt.ws or SeekIt Web Search -- See what i'm saying?

    @ziya

    If I wanted to play with the sorting it is very possible, the way I complie the inital results would allow me to have favorites. ( Although I don't ) I just complie the results based on the other engines.

    If you have any other questions feel free to give post or pm me.

    Thanks

    @JanetBandivas

    As of now no. You can submit your site to yahoo, google, bing, ask and I will pick it up.


    @christzen

    I know... this to me falls on the design part... but trust me it's getting designed.

    @jaybrooksuk

    I'm still not sure which name I'm going to use. It's a rather difficult point I'm in on deciding. I feel that Orkbo has more brandability but I also think SeekIt has a great ring to it and it also helps us visitors get and idea of what is about to happen.


    Which name do you guys like?

    SeekIt.ws

    Orkbo.com


    @LOD - Thanks man, I wish. Only in time will we be able to tell.


    @Argonaut - thank you i hope to improve it.
