can't really see it replacing Google

Especially since it uses Google to search (specific websites). :) /ravi

I tried searching for “Reflection” on Google and then again on this site. The results were quite different. On Google the only somewhat relevant result came up on Page 7 and then nothing till page 10. On this site the first result was just what I wanted. Take Google results filter it by context and then further limit the results to quality sites and forums, get rid of sites which pop-ups etc. We usually do this manually several times a day, now it is being done by the site.

http://searchdotnet.com/[^] is a similar Google custom search.

"Reflection" means different things depending on the context. Google will use broad search. Try appending specific words such as C# or .NET and compare the results. Even better, since someone mentioned it uses google underneath, figure out the exact search string and compare them ;P

Yeah, but still google doesn't get the .NET part right quite often.

It's quit bizarre that you just 'Ran into' this when your profile says you work for the same company that runs it.

Okay - it's an interesting idea

Yes it would be interesting idea if it was fully-blown vertical search engine, like Vast but for .NET and possibly other platforms and technologies... :rolleyes:

After poking around that site, they seem to have at least two other "search engines". As far as I can tell this is one guy, trying to get a few bucks in adsense. Helpwithdotnet.com is registered anonymously, but the other two, searchprivateequity.com and searchnanotech.net, have the same whois info:

Good catch there. Looks like a scam.

Well, that's interesting. I did several whois on the site and nothing really came up.
