Hi,

chk out this link
*beta.previewseek.com/


Superb Search Engine!Perhaps going forward we will be using this more than Google ??

Also preview seek is more intelligent than google! You type 'Mercury' in
google and it will also show you results of Planet mercury even if you are
looking for info on the element called Mercury. Where as in PreviewSeek
first you get different categories of mercury (Planet, Element and what
not!) and from there you can proceed only into that category. Even a
search for DSC 80, a sony digi cam gave astonishing result sets with also
categories on left side to preview its reviews or to buy it.

Good luck PreviewSeek, check it out at beta.previewseek.com . Note that it
is still in beta!

No source, just got a mail.

I hate this new serch engine! :evil: One of my sites is first in google! Its 4th here :(

:) Anyway, looks a nice one. But there's a flaw. The descriptions that come below the link are inaccurate. With some search terms, my site doesn't give a descriptions. With another set of search terms it gives a false description :roll:

OOOPS........maybe they have to better their work. Well it is still in beta phase. Its true (as Febians told) that this concept is not new, and also its too slow. But I hope they'll make it faster and lot better before the final launch.

Not gonna happen.Google Rulz.

Google has become a Synonym for Search Engines.

MSN and Yahoo could not topple Google off the top,what makes you think this search engine(Whatever its name is)can!

Bro its different logic used by grokker

A new way to look at search engine. The thing that makes it different from otther search engines is "content grouping".

Actually there is clustering engine that groups all fetched pages as per their content. Here is the Grokker architechture:

well grinning_devil according to u, Linux can never beat MS, AMD can never come upto Intel........dude things never remain same, time change and everything change, nothing is permanent. I m not against google, its my fav, but this kind of mentality may hinder ur own groth someday. be open, try everything.
the previewseek showed some interesting results, it is not necessary that it'll beat google or whatever, but cant don't u appreciate the way it displayed the results, a way LOT different than that of google.......

Nowhere near google when it comes to speed. But a good engine nevertheless. They claim it's better than google in atleast 5 ways. Not bad.
