If you would like to send me an email or contact me on skype (dginnovations) i'll arrange some free advertising and links for you :) Dave Thanks mate actually we have disabled the filters because they were removing any strings containing a banned term ie essex would remove sex which of course is not acceptable as it restricts our results a point to notice though you mentioned we only returned 1,310 results for your nickname while our filters were running and google gave 1,350 well after taking the filters off our engine also returns 1,350 results which would indicate that 40 of the results being returned had been filtered out (possibly just porn links using references to your site/blog).

A higher number of results doesn't mean a better index. Google doesn't use a bad word filter AFAIK unless you have "safe searching" on and their results exclude alot of websites that try and cheat and get listed for every keyword known to mankind, so the number of results has nothing to do with it. Even if it did mean a better search engine, that's one term your search engine beats Google's on. I tried to search for "hintswen" on a few search enines, here's the rundown: Easy Search Live: Results: 1, 310 #1 - hintswen.stumbleupon.com #2 - hintswen.com #3 - hintswen.stumbleupon.com/about Google: Results: 1, 350 #1 - hintswen.com + Sub entry for hintswen.com/blog #2 - answers.yahoo.com/my/profile?show=Z3PuBQxEaa (Yahoo Answers Profile) #3 - hintswen.stumbleupon.com/tag/browser/ + Sub entry for hintswen.stumbleupon.com/ Yahoo: Results: 1, 290 #1 - hintswen.com #2 - www.hintswen.com/blog/2008/04/11/a-note-for-you #3 - hintswen.stumbleupon.com/tag/game Live Search (MSN): Results: 211 #1 - www.hintswen.com #2 - forums.whirlpool.net.au/​forum-user.cfm?​id=​140204 #3 - www.borrett.wattle.id.au/​forums/​profile.php?​mode=​viewprofile&​amp;​u=​9 Which search engine returns the best results? In this case I would say Google, It returns my website as first and 2 things I use quite a bit as 2nd and 3rd, Your search engine returns stumble upon twice in the first 3 results and my website is only second, yahoo returns 1 of my blog posts as a seperate retult so that's out, and Live search is returning a website I can't even remember using as the 3rd result! This doesn't mean the other search engines suck though as they all returnd my website in the top 3 making it easy for people to find it when searching for my nickname.

Also, the bookmarks never leave, they're always there, unless you disable them. Frankly I agree with you, I love the GUI but I don't like the browser itself, I found over 20 problems/bugs after having used it for only 2 days. I’d post a review too, but I’m a lazy bugger.
