An ‘Independent Web Advice’ Blog

A search engine! Not another one…

I am considering creating my own search engine. Obviously it will simply scrape results from the big seven, but I can control the results and perhaps provide a better niche service than is already available.

I thought about calling it ‘topsy turvy’ or perhaps ‘wwearch’. But the last thing we need is another Google clone.

So I am stuck.

The search engine will return results only from the UK. It will search Google, MSN, Yahoo, Altavista, Ask etc etc and find relevant results. Those results will be limited to several themes and perhaps a keyword or two. Those results can then be presented in any format and any sort order, creating a niche provider search engine.

Should it be part of this website? Or perhaps a more catchy domain? Independent Web Advice is not particularly easy to type, but how many times do you actually type a domain name? Usually you follow a link or a bookmark. So does it matter?

Any suggestions welcomed!

Paul
