Wanted: Domain Appraisal search engine like no other!!

[irf82]

- Just Cyberfinder it, oh and remember it's a .net
or
- Just Google it

Drive and enthusiasm are not enough.

it's decent name, like i said if the domain starts to become a problem then i can always consider changing it as long as the visitors loyalty remain, domain history has shown that most of time it's not name that make the product but the quality, functionality and drive n enthusiasm to make it happen.

cummon who on earth would think of name theire search engine yahoo! or google in the era when every possible domain name was availaible, i remember not so long ago, i would be embarassed to recommend to someone about the search engine name google, am talkin 1996, 97, i was still a kid!!

i know it's not a great name but it's not a bad name!!

It just doesn't roll off the tongue.
Also with it being a .net you will struggle. Buy a brandable matching .com and .co.uk and build it from there. Make something up that sounds plausable.

Definitely needs tweaking -

http://cyberfinder.net/search.php?page=0&query=Microsoft

support.microsoft.com should be under www.microsoft.com imo

good points raised, but why would google raise a search engine that shows pure results and does not make any money, if they do that, then whole lot better, saves me the time n hassle, they would loose a hell of a lot of money and would be stupid to do that.

the fact is that something like this can be done, all i have to do is give my time to it, look at wikipedia, free resource done solely for good intentions, if anyone of you can help me then i would be very happy to work with you.

i am not looking for any money offers but great ideas, imagine if the likes of google and yahoo don't make the money they do, may be even half of that could go to 3rd world then that would make me very happy, we are just giving them billions for something that should be fair and free.

hope you agree with, as i said in the first post,

fight the power!!

It is a bad name, cyberfind would not be a bad name, cyberfinder is a horrendously bad name and that would be on the basis it was a .com which it isn't, but if you fail to plan.........

give me break

well what can i say, we'll just have to wait n see if you are right, its not an amazing name but its definitely not a bad name, as long as i can achieve my goal in making the giants realise then i believe i have achieved something. to do major damage you are right i probably will need a better domain.

you gotta start somewhere!!

http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=7953683&postcount=26 is an enlightening post where he admits he is using an off the shelf script.

If the script is not unique, and the domain is crap - where is the value?!

You are using the free script provided by http://www.mihalism.com/mihalism-web-search/, simply changed the logo and footer copyright info, then ask forum members to help you spread your "search engine"?


Is that adding value , by spamming?

Anyone want a game of spot the difference?

Rob Well done!!!!!

Back of the net, bonus points and a crackerjack pencil goes to Rob. Now that's how you ADD VALUE to a discussion.

SO impressed with the fantastic quality of advice and supersharp bullcrap detection on this forum that I will (be keeping my head down) recommending ACORN to all my friends, should I ever make any.

Heres another good example...(sorry cant find link) member Suzi busts a guy claiming to be a top ebay domain vendor, who ahem,... hasn't actually sold any domains on ebay yet!!!

Quality....

irf82 your a class reason why kids should not be allowed a PC in their bedroom, so go and unplug it this instant. Go waste somebody else's time you moron (who had me fooled)

hi holgate and rob,

please dont use that kinda abuse without any basis,why dont you go ahead and read digital point forum and see what i have to say, why would i spend my time replying to all these posts and advertising something that i am not making any money on, lets see if you can pull off that script and do what i am doing and waste your time advertising it without gaining anything, do you not get the idea!! i am doing this for no personal gains but to make a small difference in stopping search engine global dominance.

the difference between the mine and mihalism engine is that i am running this engine for different reason to why they are running it, they are doing it without realising that they are damaging giant search engine's global dominance and i am aware that i am doing it.

this is no spam!! you can do it too, go ahead, if you do not want then at least dont be an obstacle.

hope it makes some sense to you.

thanks

Unplug it NOW!!!

Ive been working on a search engine, and one day I hope to topple multiple evil empires and save all the sick baby panda's, please support me by clicking here.

Pull it off? Jeez 8mins to DL re-gif and post here, or were you talking about pulling something else.....

Unplug it faker....

Ok, so I buy your good intentions.

If it gets big, it will require funding for servers / bandwidth / redundancy / etc , how is that going to be funded? You did specify that it would be 'NO ADS or Sponsors'.

Further, from the mihalism page it suggests it pulls in results from the xml.mihalismsearch.com service. Who will pay for their extra load caused by your massive traffic?

Likewise you mentioned you are working hard on it, apart from promoing on forums (and editing the header on your install) are you contributing to the codebase ? If so, what? The code is covered by GNU Version 3 license

Cheers,
Rob.

just what is your problem, what the hell am i doing here that seems to be bothering you, for god's sake i am running a free resource that not making any money, i have tried to convince in every reasonable manner possible but you just have to turn to abuse, i can turn around and do the same thing, all i have done is seen this script and realised something that could be of benefit to everyone and i am publicising it, letting evreyone know that its there and it can be done, if you are worried that i will get too big and become a millionaire there why dont you start your own campaign, no one is stopping you!!

i can easily turn to abuse, but i am not gonna stoop to your level, so stop acting like a kid, i dont mind, start a new post to pronounce to everyone that you can get the script from mihalism, stop chatting rubbish without thinking. just trying to stop something good from happening!!:???::???:

 

[holgate]

Unbelievably....

The search engine wot I just wrote just returned one of my sites in position 1 just like the famous cibrefynd-dur search.....Hmm now all I need is a business strategy.....I know "Do Evil".

Im taking the mick because you were pretending to be the code author...

Relax dude,only joking, you had me over and got me in a hissy!!! No offence intended mate. In fact Im glad to know of mihalism its a useful tool Thanks.

thanks for at least trying to undestand, i also mentioned that i am not a genius!! i have got friends that i will be getting advice from, by all means i will accept any help if you are willing to offer some, i have already got a paid host account and if this proves successful upto certain extent then i need to move onto better search scripts and then hopefully get in touch with someone who can do some unique coding or maybe acquire search engine software, in terms of funds, i have got other projects that i am running for example our sap webdesign business which brings in decent income.

after certain stage i will need some kinda donation from people to keep it going, but i am sure its not going to be anytime soon, or maybe someone else will realise this idea and take up on it big time like wikipedia, it ca be done, if not me then at least by someone with a bit more cash. wouldn't mind getting some credit for it thoug!!

hope that helps.

Genius in our midst alert

wikipedia.....brilliant, did you invent that too? Okay sorry Ive had my little joke

Our very own sleuth, nothing gets passed old Robbo.

Any chance you can help me locate my blue jumper Rob? I cant remember where Ive put it.

"SNIFF SNIFF" - smells like someone VERY late to the .com boom that doesn't quite grasp the size of the interwebs and the fickle people that inhabit it.

Just looking at those pages of results hurts my eyes, and I am not joking... it's hard to scan the results and makes me feel uncomfortable.

Also, @Im feeling lucky@ is pointless and should be removed. Do you know the history behind Google still having it on their homepage?

Also, trying to find anything of relevance is tough. Even just getting wikipedia in there would help but I doubt your crawler could grab and index that information any time soon.

Do you have any idea what resources it takes to index billions of web pages and serve that to millions of people? What about breaking news or sites that update daily? Try getting your system to look at just 1000 websites at EXACTLY the same moment... doubt it can.

I am not saying no one else will ever make a new search engine, but if you can't get some of the basics sorted soon and find some very hefty funding then you will be going no where slow.

Be realistic and work hard, not unrealistic and fail quickly.

Good luck, and if this is still going in 10 years I will pay you £100.

thanks for the advice, first of all one thing i would like to say to everyone is that, this idea just crashed my mind yesterday and look at the amount of response i have got, its unbeievable, now i know that people are waiting for someone to do something amazing like this, i am sure there will be some way to achieve even a considerable amount of success, from the amount of good and bad responses i have got from this forum and others i have thought of few ways to improve it and will work on it with the aid of my friends and others who are willing to. see how it goes!!
