"WebCrawler Search Engine"

WebCrawler is a metasearch engine that blends the top search results from Google, Yahoo!, Live Search (formerly MSN Search), Ask.com, About.com, MIVA, LookSmart and other popular search engines. WebCrawler also provides users the option to search for images, audio, video, news, yellow pages and white pages. WebCrawler is a registered trademark of InfoSpace, Inc.

WebCrawler was the first Web search engine to provide full text search. It went live on April 20, 1994 and was created by Brian Pinkerton at the University of Washington. It was bought by America Online on June 1, 1995 and sold to Excite on April 1, 1997. WebCrawler was acquired by InfoSpace in 2001 after Excite, then called Excite@Home, went bankrupt. InfoSpace also owns and operates the metasearch engines Dogpile, MetaCrawler and Excite.

WebCrawler was originally a separate search engine with its own database, and displayed advertising results in separate areas of the page. More recently it has been repositioned as a metasearch engine, providing a composite of separately identified sponsored and non-sponsored search results from most of the popular search engines.

WebCrawler is a kind of search engine that blends the top search result. It also provide users the option to set for images, audio, video, news yellow pages and white pages.

"Ask Search Engine"

History

Teoma has been the heart of Ask search technology since 2001. The power of the Teoma algorithm, now known as ExpertRank, makes Ask one of the world's most powerful and unique search engines. Two significant events helped develop Ask search technology. First, in 1999, Ask acquired Direct Hit, a Massachusetts company that had developed the world's first "click popularity" search technology, which was licensed to MSN and Lycos, among others. Second, in 2001, Ask acquired Teoma, a 10-person start-up out of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and its unique index and search relevancy technology. Teoma was the first, and is still the only, major search technology based upon the clustering concept of subject-specific popularity: ExpertRank. In fact, Teoma means "expert" in Gaelic.

How it works

Ask's ExpertRank algorithm provides relevant search results by identifying the most authoritative sites on the Web. With Ask search technology, it's not just about who's biggest: it's about who's best. Our ExpertRank algorithm goes beyond mere link popularity (which ranks pages based on the sheer volume of links pointing to a particular page) to determine popularity among pages considered to be experts on the topic of your search. This is known as subject-specific popularity. Identifying topics (also known as "clusters"), the experts on those topics, and the popularity of millions of pages amongst those experts -- at the exact moment your search query is conducted -- requires many additional calculations that other search engines do not perform. The result is world-class relevance that often offers a unique editorial flavor compared to other search engines.

"AlltheWeb Search Engine"

AlltheWeb combines one of the largest and freshest indices with the most powerful search features that allow anyone to find anything faster than with any other search engine.

  • AlltheWeb's index (provided by Yahoo!) includes billions of web pages, as well as tens of millions of PDF and MS Word® files. Yahoo! frequently scans the entire web to ensure that our content is fresh and to eliminate broken links.
  • AlltheWeb offers a variety of specialized search tools and advanced search features, and supports searching in 36 different languages.
  • Our News search (provided by Yahoo!) offers up to the minute news from thousands of news sources all across the globe, with hundreds of stories indexed every minute.
  • Our image, audio, and video searches include hundreds of millions of multimedia files.
Most importantly, AllTheWeb provides you with the controls necessary to find exactly what you are looking for, including some of the most sophisticated advanced search features available.

REACTION:
Searching with AlltheWeb is very easy. You just type in a query and go. Remember, AlltheWeb's results are powered by Yahoo, so whatever results you get at AlltheWeb, you would also receive at Yahoo. This brings up the question of why search at AlltheWeb when you can just search at Yahoo? Well, I think it's just a matter of personal preference. AlltheWeb is very streamlined, offering absolutely nothing but search, and it's a nice alternative to Yahoo's somewhat busy main search page. Really, it's just a matter of personal preference.

"Sad Love Qoutes"








What is Heartache? 
Hearthache is feeling all the love 
you could possibly possess for that one person 
and at the same time know
that the feelings are not mutual.
Heartache is having that feeling of anticipation 
crushed down when u seem him 
and know that u cant have him.
Heartache is trying to be a good friend and 
listen to him express his own feelings of love.....
for someone else.
Heartache is him coming to u for relationship 
advice and u trying with all your power 
not to give him advice that will 
surely demolish his current relationship.
Heartache is wanting so desperately to 
grab him and give him one of those 
huge fireworks exploding, 
academy-award winning,
would only happen in a movie 
because he loves somebody else kisses.....
but u know u cant.
Heartache is forcing your body to play dead 
towards him so as to not give 
any true feeling away,
even though the deafening sound of your heart 
beating out his name is driving u insane.
Heartache is having to tell someone who just 
asked who that guy u were walking with was...
"ohh him, we're just friends", 
while inside u cry and 
whisper "thats all we'll ever be"
