It is good that on the front page at least the "search type" text changes color when you select a different type... but I would actually like to see this made a bit more obvious. Maybe a glowing aura around the currently selected search type?
thanks for the ideas guys... you are correct... surchRANK is a blend just like its results....and it will be in the toolbar as well... what do you guys think is the best way to get the toolbar out?
Thats a good question. I hate how Yahoo strong arms you into downloading their toolbar, I would say dont go at it like that. Add some good stuff to it so people want to have your toolbar. Like how Google has spell checker and the auto fill form you know. If you add enough goodies in there, people will download it because it's good to have. I use Google toolbar, I love it. I use the spellchecker(even though it's broken on ie7), the search word highlighter, translator, and the search box too.
google does it a good way... and adding little things if a good idea. I wouldn't download it... I hate tool bars, all they do on my computer is identity theft! Google becomes toolbar lock, yahoo becomes google, msn becomes yahoo, customize become msn... add things like weather, spell check, fill form..
spell check is built in... it also has a suggestion tool for 404 traffic and about 30 options in properties for things like weather, stock quotes, mail notification etc...and surch will never steal data like many toolbars do
I'm really impressed by this search engine so I decided to make it my homepage. Great Job on it, I hope to see it do well.
The design is nice, ideas seems good, congratulations, I'm going to play with it for a while. The links "Company Info" & "Privacy policy" return a 404, any problems ?
design is okay, a little over the top for something designed to be simple. also, the SERPs are slower to process than on other search engines, probably from the thumbnails.
okokokok... Ill change that tonight for you guys... its been something I really have just been lazy about taking care of even thought it will probably take me less than 3 minutes....lol
LOL ash.... (Johnnie falls on the ground laughing) hehehehe Ok now seriously Im almost finished with a bunch of updates to surch and getting ready to launch its PR... so who wants to help with traffic in return for sponsored listings?
I will too. Also, you should add a little link someplace that says "Set this as your homepage" or something. Just a thought. I own http://myspace.com/G I got it from a friend of mine a couple months ago and it's already got over 100k profile views. I could redirect all my traffic to your site, that could help out. Plus the myspace people might digg the mp3 search thing..
