stupid name. telling someone to "cuil it nub" just doesnt work.

i did a search for "dj strex" and it came back with 500 000 results (google has 5000) but djstrex.com only came up on page 4. dumb.

I'll give it a proper go when I'm actually trying to find something, and compare it to the results Google gets. It's pretty cool how it displays images with the searches, and it seems to load pretty quick too.

Porn worked for me, even with safe-search enabled.

I searched my name too, it dug up all kinds of crap from years ago I haven't seen in search results like user profiles in places i've signed up for, didn't find my .com, and one of the most relevant results was last on page 3 or something like that.

Seems to find more results, but they're not as relevant as google's results.

Yeh, I concur with the majority; didn't like the interface and don't like the search results.

i don't mind the interface, i like the categories section too. but i wasn't enamoured with the results. i searched 'xbla' and some of the first results were from years ago.
