two suggestions: - you need a favicon, so its possible to pull your site into an icon bar for bookmarking. - you need a search engine registration, so its possible to use it from search engine tab in browser
Agreed with both.

#92You should enable IPv6 on your naked domain, in addition to www. The DNS records are listed here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2...
Google AppEngine Issue. I'm not sure we can make that happen, but I will look in to it.

#93How can they trademark the words "Liquid Helium"? The first search I did on Samuru was for Liquid Helium and it brought back about a half million results, all of which I assume are violating its purported trademark.
We can trade mark it in the context of software. We don't sell frigid gas.

#94how ur search engines index the site? how can i submit in it?
Also if you use the TLDR plugin it will "submit" the link. (assuming you aren't on an HTTPS connection or Logged in to a site)

Re: your portrayal of how Google works...An "over simplification"? It's just plain wrong. Google has, for quite awhile, not depended on sites containing all the words of a query...and natural language processing plays a huge part in analyzing intent of a query. I applaud this ambitious project but I'm skeptical you'll achieve what you aim for if you're way off the mark in understanding how Google is so successful...I…
We have that issue because it turns out many brand pages don't have any content. We are still balancing the domain bonus, but think how many home pages for brands have no text. No text means we have nothing to analyze.
That's why you analyze inbound links, too.

So you think Google knows if a piece of content is instructional? Or know that it is a Review? (not just has a rating) And you have to have all the words or a synonym of the words. But more importantly Google doesn't know what kind of content something is. Or what questions the content answers. Our system knows "this document answers what do aardvarks eat"
But more importantly Google doesn't know what kind of content something is. Or what questions the content answers. I'm not sure I agree with this. Google may not know it explicitly but it can effectively know it, perhaps in some cases even better than the average human would if given the same search keys. It is the difference between knowing what a word means by the way people actually use it versus by looking it up…
Who said we don't use word order?
Who said we don't use similar search to infer intent?
We can't really use the click throughs until we have users. We need feed back to improve results. But this also powers the related search in our TLDR Products ( http://www.tldrstuff.com ) and those have to work with much more abstract queries, because they aren't user queries they are generated queries.

When you are building a technology, you have to isolate and test. We use indicators that are harder to game than inbound links like traffic. But it is a balancing act. We have just shy of 100 score factors we can tweak, and getting them right takes a bit of time.

I wonder why you decided to follow the same old search formula. There is so much to innovate in this area. For example, Nuuton uses #hashtags for trending results. Say you go and make a search. All related terms would appear as #hashtags somewhere in the page. These are created by the users and by the system. It also uses the / and the ! to filter results in different ways. Say: /Honda !modified, gets you pages of mo…
How do I teach 2nd graders, their 62 year old teacher, and my mom to do those things? We are focused on making interfaces that are Zero Learning Curve. Our goal is to allow you to ask for what you want and get it with out having to know how to ask.
How do you aim to provide correct answers to incorrect or incomplete questions?

#99"Why Samuru" => Spelling suggestion : "Why Samurai" It's interesting, results are not so far from what I want. I'll give it a look for my next searchs.
Samuru was a samurai. Several Japanese anime characters are named Samuru and are samurai. It is also turkish for otter.
"Su samuru"(literal translation: water sable) is the Turkish for otter. Turkish is an agglutinative language, that last u is actually a possessive affix and doesn't make sense when the word is by itself.

#100Doesn't seem to tailor results to your location so might not be as useful for people outside of the US? Or did I just try a stupid search? I performed a vanity search and it was listing different names before there was anything about me. Same search in Australia on Google has me in four of the top six spots.
