www.zuula.com was Posted by Me a few issues ago and I got Tip Of the Fortnight (Thank you)
And I thought nothings going to equal that on performance and last night I was idly surfing around some search sites and I came across a Blogger who posts reviews of search engines..A lot of which are too specialised for the average surfer and near the bottom of the List was a small entry for a Multi search engine called
www.Trovando.It "It" meaning it comes from Italy
Clicked the Link expecting an Italian Language site...NO Is in English
Question? How many engines does the average meta search site run to? Perhaps a dozen?
Zuula goes to 18 crossing the tabbed search (all sections)
That's good
NOW...Trovando.It does the same speed search as Zuula Click the engines beneath the search box (No Tabs.. But layout is clear)...Many more categories
OH Guess how many search engines to access 20?...Bit more...30?..keep going....Give up?
The Total is..Drum roll...
3351 engines! and seems development has halted in 2005
Has some key sites like
www.refdesk.com and Newer search engines missing But as a 1 stop site that's only a minor niggle
And there's more...
There is a Toolbar for the Google Personalized search page can test it out on this page without obligation to install it
http://googlemodules.com/module/55/Is available also for Firefox and IE Have this Trovando page to see how good this is
This is the One you should save and Use. And Zuula can go on the Back burner. Has some of the Recent search engine sites which Trovando has not got listed
Just keep these 2 sites bookmarked and Junk the rest
