Hey Everyone, I am new to the site and figured I would start asking some questions that have been on my mind for a while. I was wondering if any of you think there would be some additional filters/criteria that could be added to a Search Engine to bring back better results? Distance Filter - What if you could select to view only websites/results within a certain distance from your location? State/City Filter - (Similiar to Distance) - Ability to show only websites in your State or specific City Newest/Oldest - Self explanatory # of Results - Would you like to be able to select how many results are shown on each results page? 10, 15, 25, maybe even 100? Delete Results - What if you could delete certain results and never see them again? (This might be usefully for people that do many searches with similiar words/keywords) Save Results - What if you could click 'Save' on certain results and have them appear each time you type in that same exactly search/keyword phrase? Search w/Directory Option - What if there was a 'categories' drop down under the search bar to only allow results from certain categories to be shown? Anyways, I am sure I could go on and on, but it just seems to me that there are MILLIONS of websites out there that go unnoticed all because of how the current search engines work. Of course Google/Yahoo bring back great results and ones that are very relevant to what you are searching for, but couldn't there be some better options? After all, if you are on 'Page 2' of any Google results, does your website really even exist? One quick Google example: Type 'Car' into Google and you get 'Results 1 - 10 of about 593,000,000 for Car' 593,000,000 Websites and all you are ever going to see is 10 of them! lol Anyways, I am NOT bashing on Google/Yahoo or any other search engines I would just like to get everyones option on this. Also, if you have any other search options/filters that you think would be a great idea I would love to hear about them. Thanks, BCBC
Just thought I would mention that I know the number of results drops greatly when you do a more specific search, but even then you can still get around 500k - 2 Millon Results! Thanks, BCBC
it should show some example of possible specific keywords. like when you type "car", after first result page show. got a small section show "new car, second hand car, brand car,etc) that might be interesting. I know the possibility of the relevant words in uncount able but we can do random suggest words right?
