Official BitTorrent Search Opens

Spiegel has more (En): "Naturally other sites such as Bitoogle, Isohunt, SuprNova or Torrentspy have tried before, but either they became fast a goal of legal attacks on the part of the industry or they furnished rather durchwachsene [??] results. BitTorrent search however proves with first tests [that it is] as...Google...fast. The results come from a large number [of] more well-known and unknown... sites, and...permits sufficient restricting to the inquiry, in order to obtain really relevant results.""

    I wonder how the BT search is better than good old google search with filetype as .torrent.
    If what the BT search enging does is simply crawl the web and index sites with .torrent files than... that's what google has been doing for yrs.

    Same stuff with a new packaging...
