"N-No it's not!"

"Oh."

NEVAR! NOTHING CAN BE AS GOOD AS THE ALMIGHTY GOO...

Oooh. Cluster inside.

On searching for Sorrowind, it lists my site as #1, so it's good in my book. But Google is still better :D

"google" is easier to type.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Seeing as it's not really a search engine, then no, it's not better than google.

However, the clustering thing is a good idea.

1) Its not a real search engine, its just a meta search engine, IE, compositing results from other, real search engines. Also, all the engines it relies on use meta-tags, as opposed to Google's string search.
2) The results are laughable. When searching for "massassi": Google: 32,100. Vivisimo: 124.
3) Its slow. Google responds with results in less than a second, while Vivisimo takes several seconds.
4) The interface sucks. Google has a very slim and streamlined interface, while Vivisimo's is clunky and bloated.

And besides, why does everyone keep looking for a replacement for Google? How often is it that you find a company who's slogan is "Do no harm"? Google is more than a search engine, its a tool. Hell, its a whole suite of tools. Accept it as such, and move on.

BTW, it's in it's beta stages.

I agree with GBK on this one. I think people are just curious to see if Google can be dethrowned though.

I agree with GBK.
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Vivisomo's front page:

Google's front page:

Size tells all... ;)

I hate every thing about it except the clustered results. Google need this. Say we whip up a virus that lets us put one on there? :D

Clustered results are a great idea.

what's google?
2004-10-02, 3:29 AM #26
Well, Google returns 111,000,000 results for 'google', and 110,000 for 'vivisimo', so Google wins.

I think Clusty.com is their real franchise. It's quite a bit better, but isn't getting as good results as Google and isn't as good at spelling correction.
