FyberSearch Web Thoughts: A Sentence Search Engine

Hi,

My name is Nathan Enns and I am the owner and founder of the search engine FyberSearch.

I developed a new type of search engine that I call FyberSearch Web Thoughts. I classify it as a sentence search engine because it returns sentences that discuss your search query instead of relevant web pages.

I would really enjoy hearing what all of you think about this tool, if it is useful or entertaining and what improvements could be made. It can be found at http://wt.fybersearch.com

Just so you know, this is not supposed to be a self-promotion but a request for constructive criticism. If it is not allowed here or if it should be moved to a different category then feel free to delete or move this thread.

Thanks in advance

Interesting, in fact very interesting.

What can you tell me about your method … are you processing meta search data?

This thread can stay here, but really it should be in the Other Search Engines Forum.

I’m surprised a smart guy like you didn’t figure that out. I’m not trying to be rude, but you already posted about this in the Google forum, (what were you thinking), and now here you are in the web site review forum, and you have a great web site. Obviously you are not the brains behind the operation, or you would be able to figure out the proper forum to post in.

Is there anyone else in your organisation we could ask questions about your very interesting web site? My concern is that if you handle it, with your current record of not even being capable of posting in the most obviously correct forum … that you will squander your chance of impressing any of our readers.

Gee, I guess you ... are it.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I am glad to hear you like the site.

I am not sure what happened with the category my thread was placed under. I created it in the “other search engines forum” because I thought that was the best place. I exited this site, then went back in to make sure I had placed it in the correct category and it was all fine. I came back about an hour later and it had been moved to the “site review” section. I figured that a moderator thought I was asking for website help. I didn’t think much of it being moved because I was asking for comments about my site as well as my search engine.

Regarding it being posted in the Google forum I really don’t know what to say. I looked in the Google forum of this site and didn’t see my post but you would have deleted it anyway.

I don’t remember being stupid enough to create this thread in any forum with “Google” in the title but who knows, maybe all my ‘smartness’ was sucked up in the process of creating Web Thoughts

Anyway, I hope the thread creation issues wont ruin any further conversation about Web Thoughts. I am hopefully capable of continuing a reasonable conversation...

I currently use no data from any other search engine. I wrote the web crawler and search script myself. It saves archived copies of web pages and parses them for my general web search engine. I wrote a separate parser that processes each archived web page and fills the database that backs
FyberSearch Web Thoughts.

Let me know if you have any other questions or if you have any ideas on how web thoughts could be improved.

Thanks for your time and patients.

>>I created it in the “other search engines forum”

Then I must apologize for razzing you Nathan. Yes, our TOS is very clear, anyone with a new search engine is allowed to post about it within the Other Search Engine Forum. I have no idea, why your thread was moved to this forum. Regardless, after I wipe the egg off my face, I’ll see about getting it moved to the proper forum.

Very interesting, how large of a database are you currently using?

Thats simply Brilliant. However, I doubt if you can run that engine commercialy like Google, yahoo etc in the long run.

But yes, this is something new and ingenious.

unreviewed:

No problem, thanks for getting it moved back

Unfortunately the database is not extremely large right now. I created FyberSearch a little over a year ago when I was eighteen years old and focused primarily on technology development. A few months ago I decided I needed to focus much more on marketing and revenue generation so that I could buy more computer power. I will be increasing the database size here pretty soon but I would rather not share the number of pages I have for the time being.


openxs:

I am glad you like the tool. I agree, I don’t think it has a lot of commercial value. I found it entertaining more than anything. I spent a few hours trying every word I could think of when I first released it, hehe.


Anyway, thank you both for the reply and the encouragement.
