I now have a new vivisimo.com category called Corner Soul. It took me a while to work out who it was writing about me in their diary. Weird.

Watch out for Dipsie - it's going to smash Google! launching in Summer 2004

He claims that by the time Dipsie’s search site becomes publicly available this summer, its index will include 10 billion documents—triple the current size of Google’s index.

There's been so much hype about Dipsie, considering there isn't even a beta version to look at. Are you a viral marketeer? I guess a bigger index is sometimes useful, but it's hardly the most important thing in a search engine.

Yahoo Search: New Search Engine Launched

Just a quick web searching tip: Yahoo Search results are no longer powered by Google - they are now using their own systems.

Last year Yahoo purchased a technology company called Inktomi who are a leading Web search provider [a Search Engine database/ crawler], using their expertise they have now developed Yahoo Search. Yahoo are using a web indexing robot: Yahoo! Slurp to crawl and index websites.

One of the advantages of Yahoo Search over Google - they cache the first 500K of a webpage, compared to Google that limits to 100K.

Also note that like Google: Yahoo Search has a News section - for uptodate breaking news.

>> Yahoo Search - News

This just in: Yahoo! News Search is now even better: Info >> News Search

Background info on >> Yahoo Search

I think the name alone probably cursed this project.

Sounds like Askjeeves.

"While search engines like MSN and Ask Jeeves have recently made limited attempts at answering questions from finite databases or precanned editorially collected answers, Brainboost is the only engine that leverages the full knowledge available on the web."

I'll try it sometime. I like the gears in the afro.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 10 March 2005 18:53 (nineteen years ago) link

But can't you just type the same questions into google and get very similar results?

The FT's new news search site Newssift is worth a play

I like the way it tries to sort stories by sentiment.
