What: A new Internet search engine.

Why cool: To be the best for the roughly 2/3rds (safe for work or not) of Internet content, searches people want to do, and content they want to find at best poorly served now.



Porn I'm assuming? I would think that spam dominates internet content.


Porn? No, not necessarily at all, or as I said, "safe for work or not".

Spam? No, not at all. Instead, as I said, searches people want to do and results they want to find, and those are nearly never spam.

Nothing tricky; take my description just the way I gave it.

The content types are primarily still images, recorded music, video clips, i.e., content types where search by keywords/phrases work from poor down to not at all due to far too little text in the content for matching users' keywords/phrases, and a major fraction of blogs and long tail Web sites, that is, where the content is mostly text.

A point is that search by keywords/phrases works well for only about 1/3rd of the content, searches people want to do, and results they want to find. My work is for the other 2/3rds. This description is difficult to understand?
