Hi there, I have been working on a search engine for some time, and are now a bit curious about what you as a user/website owner think about it. Is it anything you feel should be on the site, anything that can be done better etc? I do have a plan to implement such features as cached pages etc, but for now the main focus is on tweaking the search indexes, improve the webpages and so on. When it comes to the technology, the system is using some open source systems in the core, but spiders/search algorithms etc are designed by myself. So i will not be giving out too much information about that part. Oh yes, the search engine is placed at thorseek.com and it`s now indexing british and norwegian domains. (.uk / .no) Where other engines indexes -everything-, this keeps itself to spesified domains.
This might sound stupid, but reduce the size of the writing. Everything looks oversized! You need something thats not run of the mill to attract users. And don't ask what, thats the billion dollar question Nice job though. lots of work put it I suspect.
Thanks for the tip! Have not tought too much over that before you wrote it here, so i will do a litte "font redesign" soon and see if it becomes a bit better.
I hope you do not mind, but I added your engine to my list of the largest list of free search engine submissions.
Current search engines don't find things for me, they only show me places where i can find what i was looking for. Create a search engine, or find engine, that actually finds things. For instance, if i'd like to find the cheapest dedicated server deal on the internet, now google will show me thousands of pages and leave me there saying 'you can find it around here'. That's not enough. If you can find and show me the exact cheapest deal on the internet, then there is someting there.
