In the week since it launched, new search engine Blekko has handled one million search queries per day, the company tells us.

For context, Google handles several billion queries per day. But a million per day is certainly a very healthy start for a week-old engine aiming to be the number three in search. – BI
About Blekko

blekko is a better way to search the web
by using slashtags. slashtags search only the sites you want and cut out the spam
sites. use friends, experts, community or your own slashtags to slash in what you want and slash out what you don’t.

Hmm dont think people are here in the favour of giving people chance.
What most people want is to get the work done and get out of it as quickly as possible.
With google one is sure some websites are not missed.

The only competitor to google search will be one that atleast give as much as web searches as google if not more.

Domination is really hard to break in this era; don't you think so?

Android overtakes iOS. & will overtake Symbian (in 2-3yrs). domination anyone?

but i personally feel Google is BEST. what can be better than fast, easy & simple?

Search engine domination is different.

iOS was bound to be overtaken. Many manufacturers support Android. With Symbian, it was the case of not evolving with time.

^^agreed only if google stagnates development or becomes slightly irrelevant like symbian
then a competitor might take over otherwise they will dominate

google has changed the way we use the internet.
search engine domination is surely different. speed and simplicity has led most people search using google very frequently. so competitors will surely have to do something awesome to replace google from people's daily routine.
unlike the mobile OS market, there arent any competitors currently which is even near to google.

I don't think there will be any competition to Google for next decade or so.:)

The more the competition, the more will be the pressure on Google to speedup its its Servers to provide accurate Searches in the least amount of time. Also, it would make it look at the features which it is lacking vis-a-vis the new Search-Engine and provide these facilities also. By far Google is the best and let us see what and where it is lacking, once the new Search Engine becomes popular.
