SKA news - more than 1 trillion unique URLs found - this beats Google's figure

[BrowneIssue]

Emoticons should be banned. Use of emoticons is a lame excuse for not thinking/writing - IMHO.

Something is amiss in those trilllion webpages

I just searched for "ginola" on your engine and it found 6 pages. A search on google finds 203,000 pages. What have I done wrong?

Went to the wrong search engine.

You used wrong search engine - http://www.majesticseo.com contains data on over 1 trillion unique URLs. We are very specific in our announcement - this is not a full-text search engine (yet).

Yes. I know. Thank God you don't visit TPD.

At least we keep all our ramblings to ourselves in the one thread that is TPD! All the tulipe spammy threads that appear in General are more bolloxy than those in TPD.

I want a search engine where I can whistle a tune and it finds it, or do a rough sketch and it finds the proper image.

A description like "thingy, you know the bloke that was in whatsit with er off that thing about space aliens" should immediately lead me to the right person.

My site doesn't appear. Yes - it's highly unlikely anyone has EVER visited it, and certainly is very possible it's never been visited. So... why not capture all the searches, and scan them for URLs. And then check if the URL is kosher, and add it to your database?

e.g. www.sorrywhatwasthepointagain.com

Ah you want an intelligent search engine, not one that just uses brute force.

That would be Autonomy, then.

I won't respect SKA until they have a Dutch Power Cows team.
