Accoona - How Does This Search Engine Rate?

An anonymous reader asks: "How many of you have tried the new AI-based search engine, Accoona? How does it compare with the other big search engines (Google, MSN Search, Yahoo, etc)? In late 2004, the Associated Press reported that Bill Clinton helped launch the company behind the engine, which is also backed by the Chinese Government. The EETimesUK has another article which describes how the search engine is supposed to work." For those who have tried Accoona, how would you rate the accuracy of its results?

    I don't think I could remember the spelling.

    I'd probably have to google for it.

    Now someone just needs to make a search engine called "Matata", and we'd have no worries for the rest of our days.

    Or it could be because you spelled Tiananmen wrong.

    Never heard of this search before, but it's gotta be awesome: my site came up first when I search for 'BTEG'.

    Take THAT Black Training and Enterprise Group!

  6. Fortunately it has the obligatory double O by httpamphibio.us · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yahoo and Google are the only search engines that are considered successful right now... Altavista, WebSpider, A9... these have all fallen by the wayside. Why? None of them have two letter Os next to each other. Accoona does. I predict it will be a smashing success.
