Hello I've been working on http://www.xoole.com for around 2 years now and it seems to be building slowly, but I hit a stump and need some advice on what to do next. I know I want to make the search have more results and ranking system, but still something missing and not know what it is. Would appreciate your comments or suggestions, I would like to know all so please let me know Thanks
You should make your search engine more special than others. Because now most people use google, yahoo, msn. So you can learn from some good meta search engine like dogpile.com, chacha.com, etc. Then you ll have more good ideas to promote your site.
You need to work more on updating the index, right now it can't practically be used with the current database of sites.

Thanks for your reply yes I see these and have some great things going for there users. Ok I will see what I can put together for more of the user control and for the users to use.
You need to work more on updating the index, right now it can't practically be used with the current database of sites. Yes, I am working on a better crawler right now to crawl a huge part of the web and also a ranking system to better the results shown. Hopefully be done within the next few weeks, if not sooner.
The favicon does not look nice..... added my site! What is wrong with the favicon like the colors or just the logo it self?
the branding is horrible.... start with the branding if you even want the first visitor to use the search engine. the question if a visitor will come back depends if the search engine is actually good (giving good results)
Some added information and background will add to the trust of your site. Try and get a community going around it to progress from straight "ppc inclusion" to realizing that without a well branded image or super nifty "new tech feature" - you're not going to get any results. As wounded said, the branding should be focused on, but perhaps nail down your overall focus with this project first. Writing your companies focus down on the about page will help you and your potential clients both.
