    I'm creating this thread after I tried the new search engine Hakia. I happened to try searching 'tutorial site management script' (without quotes). Why am I choosing this search term? well I actually did search for it :D and I know this search term might be confusing SE logic.

    Okay, tried it with these SEs, only saw 1st page:

    Hakia:
    mostly shown correct results.

    The Big G :
    Lol...
    mostly shown wrong result, it seems G was interpreting the search term to 'site management script tutorial'.

    Yahoo:
    Interesting...
    Ask:
    1-2 wrong
    the rest varies but mostly wrong... it's strange knowing that Hakia collaborates with Ask :)

    Hmm... thinking to change my SE to Hakia or back to Yahoo :rolleyes:

    it's wrong when it doesn't return the result that we're looking for by the search terms.

    It's wrong, or your search term is wrong. When I enter a bad query, I just try something else instead of whining in public about it, but to each his own. Still, in all honesty, what you're really saying is that Google is wrong in your opinion with the results they give.

    Funny how this isn't your first post advertising Hakia...

    Could you tell me what's wrong with my search term? Yeah, of course you can try other search terms, but for extreme example if you're looking for 'car' you won't expect that the search results are about 'webhosting', right?

    I'm not whining, just showing some interesting things I got here because I just knew Hakia and see how Hakia works is interesting (honestly a good one) and I'd like to listen what other's experience. So if you love Google very much, that's fine! and don't blame other people or me to like other SEs.

    I'm not advertising Hakia, hell you know that I compared with Yahoo too, so you're now saying that I'm advertising Hakia & Yahoo?? up to you!
