    This thread is a joke IMHO
    it's obvious that the "google killer" wasn't a success/

    cheers

    we all have to start some where, if the potential is there we will know it soon enough! once google over took altavista it was very rapid until it became the world wide web phenom we know it to be today. I like the looks of it, and the results thus far. it is a bit slow loading, so that is a down fall, but it's promising. the spiders really need more time to search and index the www tho.

    Its a good site, results are great but I agree with the fact that it takes much too long to load results.

    which goes with my original comment - sure, the engine itself might be sluggish (it takes a bit to even start receiving data back), but the typical result page is a whopping 185k in 36 files - that's a minimum on first page load on your average broadband traffic rate (which even on a 4mbps downstream the average is closer to 1.5) of a whopping 20 seconds or so (a good deal of that being handshaking) - a limited or shared connection could take as long as roughly 50 seconds... unacceptable for a simple search page. Later page loads might cache a lot of that, but even cached you still will see frequent ping's to verify the original hasn't changed - that's what a HTTP status code 304 is FOR, meaning you're still pinging the server on cached values in a lot of cases.

    LOOK at google - their average search page is around 30k in 3 files... and they send compressed reducing that to a mere 14k. (vs the 175 compressed Sproose sends).

    A lot of it is just all those separate and poorly encoded images for things that should likely be combined and optimized. Looking at the search result page I see the need for 4 images total without changing the appearance.

    The markup and styling is also a train wreck - the result page is 47k of markup, 27k of scripts, and 11k of stylesheets for 5k of actual content... looking over the site I would quote (if this was a customer for a design) a page of 14k or less HTML, the entire sites CSS should likely not cross the 10k mark, and I'd axe the ajax nonsense since 27k of scripts for THAT is just rubbish that's costing you more bandwidth and accessability than it is adding to the page.

    The results page AS IT LOOKS NOW should be well under 40k total in 6-8 files... at least, that's what it would be coded how I handle things. You don't need to go as spartan as google, but it's a search engine - you need for the rest of your **** to be as unobtrusive as possible since the typical search user did not come to your site for your ****, but to find other people's ****.

    Personally I think that this SE has some potential.

    Lol! That thing is weird!
    I searched for my site and it was there, even though I have a rather small site from a rather small country.
    But when I searched for 'anime' it returned 0 results :))
    Yeah, gonna beat Google for sure :p

    I highly doubt the "google killer" is going to be running google adsense in its margins ...

    Most of the negative comments you will find on here is because of the name of the thread, because people find it ridiculous to heap such praise on a site that clearly is just starting out on it's journey.

    However, with that said, there WILL eventually be a google killer, someday perhaps far in the future, perhaps sooner, so I guess we all have a chance to build it ...

    Google is a good search engine so Google is not a killer.

    It's a quite well user-driven engine, but it's not google killer now

    One simply needs to deliver better relevant results than Google to beat Google - which i dont think any of these 'alternatives' are providing at the moment.
