New Search Engine v.s Google

[....::::WiReD::::....]

Google, Yahoo, and MSN need to take notice of a new search engine that has emerged. Scour is a great new social search engine that searches all the major engines and implements thumbs up and thumbs down rankings.

The best part in all of this is that you get paid to use it. That's correct, you get paid. Every time you place a search you earn points, once you hit certain levels they pay you cash money. :D

Have you made the switch yet? :unsure:

Scour!

What are your thoughts on this?

Better than Cuil

"Just google it" -> "Just scour it" lol, it would sound kinda weird

I've just signed up for Scour and it appears like it uses existing search engines, can someone clarify that for me if I'm wrong.

Yes, in fact the most popular results are indexed and displayed from Google, Yahoo, msn, etc.

Scour's results are all indexed from the three major search engines.

This is no way better than Google. Google is simple to use without going through the crap Scour offers.

Searches are slow, and the results are so far spread out. They even know if they put the search results closer, people will get confused.

fail.

It seems alright but Google is so popular now that people will just that.

[Angel Blue01]

Metacrawler and others have been using Google Yahoo, MSN etc. for years

[noPCtoday]

too fancy, ad too annoying, too bloated.

It's not like there hasn't been a Yahoo+G+Live search engine out there, there are TONS. Comparing Scour to Cuil, Cuil looks much more original even though it still sucks with the result and algorithm.

I don't want to search "socially". Social schmocial...I just want to find crap quick and simple. Period.

It's just not like Google. I'm so used to Google, I can't switch at all.

Google is just so popular only with the brain dead and the people that simply can't make their own decisions!! Have to use it just because everyone else is.

Never have been to keen on these meta search engines though. Will still check it out.

As far as that comment on the cuil site. What a joke there!!

So its not a search engine. Its just a website that passes through your search terms to the real search engines.

Or maybe its popular because it, you know, comes up with the most reliable results most of the time. No, that can't be it.

So intrusive. Bleh. I prefer Google anyway.

[duritz]

money + internet = scam

[White Cuban]

Looks like another cuil = **** xD.

[what]

When will people realise that to beat Google they first need to stop with all the fancying scripting and pestering adverts? Like that pop-up on the first search - yeah, that's really going to get people interested, isn't it?

[___DaviD___]

Google finds what i need 99% of the time on the first page. Why should i bother changing when google does the job i need it to.

[Cormier6083]

I rather God-gle.
