very nice!

I like my listings in thier results far more than google or yahoo. why is it that my listings are different? How did they index my sites?

many questions to come Im sure.

Eric,
It uses the same algo as google i.e. craws from links a site that is already in its database, it actually uses google search result but it seem to be crawling site by itself so there may be plans to drop usuing google resulte

Scroll down, look to your right.

I take it the Porn SPAMMERS have already cracked this SE.

You are righ Paul,
I wonder why the have to include image in search result when you are not searching for images anyway.

I'm sure in due course they will tweak their algo to filter undesirables like porn for people who are not surfing for porn

I figure they will try and market it once it gets going good they will drop Google and start using there own results.
