...a slow news day. Seriously though, why do you need anything other then google?

There was some sort of falling out before, but both sides takedown their disagreement and now HotBot uses openDK() function.

I've never, ever gotten a useful search result from hotbot, ever. Not one. It is probably the worse search engine, ever. Why must they bring it back into existance? To torture users even more with useless results?
Why would someone go to www.hotbot.com to do a google search??? they both are 6 letter urls, so it's not quicker to type.... and it's slower....

Now that we have discussed Googles, such as sex ads and gun ads.. what are HotBots' views on restricting legal activites of the individual?

I realize that I post a lot here, so I've refrained a bit recently.
But I just wanted to say that someone needs to point out the following:
Every competitor to Google adds to the amount of spidering traffic on the Internet
In fact, it's perfectly valid to go one step further: competing with Google constitutes a terroristic denial of service attack (DOS) on the Internet.
I have a lot of friends. One of them is Inoshiro, who started Kuro5hin.org, a Web site that many of you may be familiar with. I've seen his access logs for that site, and 18% of all hits to K5 are from Google's "GoogleBot 2.1" spider.
I'll let you do the math -> every search engine adds 20% load to the Internet.
Do you want to lose 1 out of 5 packets all because of some lame, was-famous-yesteryear search engine called HotBot? What a waste!
The engine is clearly defective.

My search for 'niggledy shitz' did not turn up any results. Outrageous. Is it illegal for people to make pokemon bongs?
