I really wish another contender would come up. Getting tired of Google's dominance. The alternative to google is hidden google, for $100 a year?

I'm getting tired too.. but.. you can't argue that they put out back-to-back clean software/websites and tools for people. But, like all companies, I lose more and more interest as they make more and more money. Somehow money seems to ruin everyones perspective.. but they seem to have a good grip on things..

A competitor would be awesome.. it's just hard to compete with the household name 'Google'...

But, the real reason I wanted to reply was that I found Google's business search on my phone very useful! It's 1-800-4664-411 (or 1-800-GOOG-411)

Thumbs down Search alternatives

Obviously, more competition in the search field would be awesome -but- the way things are going, any serious contender gets purchased before it can truly become "a potential threat" to any of the three big players: Google, Yahoo and MSN.

Maybe the social networking realm is where the next competitive angle will grow, over the next few years.

Who knows...

They should build a shopping directory lol, nice try for google to make a system like that and force you to put their search box on your site. $100 should be given to the webmasters, not webmasters paying Google to advertise their own search engine.

I think for most, a site search is enough... And search within a website is not that hard. If a website owner wants site search, one can probably assume there are black-hat attempts at spam etc.

I guess the quality may lack slightly compared to Google, but there are many site search scripts out there. If they are more than a little behind, I will be somewhat surprised...

Anyways, for those looking for an alternative, I am quite sure Gigabits offers a quite good site-search/own-search-engine solution.

I feel the same, I don't know why they want us to help Google on our sites, because the people use the search engine to find what they want.

Why google want to put a search box of our pages on our sites? It is kind of insulting the webmasters about our site navigation.

Google want more fresh contents, fresh links, etc... but I saw since the beginning the same display of our indexed links, nothing new for years on their search engine !

Oh excuse my English they modified the display of their advertisments lol from left to the top, that's a great improvment :-)

I like Google, but they should upgrade their displays to be more attrative.

Google business search also would be a nice to see.
