Re: New search engine site
I found problems. 1. No side scroll or other way of movong down each page, so only got part o the results. 2. Seemed to be a lot of duplication. 3. The one limk that seemed to be of value was dead - failed to open page.

Re: New search engine site
Hi Peter, no Google doesn't have to be worried yet. Did a search on the same obscure topic and Cuil came back with 3 hits whilst Google cam back with 110 hits. I think Google is safe for a little while.

I just gave it a try and my search came back with this result ;-) No results because of high load... Due to excessive load, our servers didn't return results. Please try your search again.
