Hi eyezshine, First of all don't give up. It is a hard road you travel, but it is good to see someone trying.

jdMorgan had a good point on the evil side, but it is much worse, top lists and voting scripts are spoofed all the time, a verry common practice in the adult side of things, and those spoofing scripts and bots eat a lot of bandwidth.

ken_b brought up another good point, but another twist on the matter is domains are bought all the time by spammers for the sole purpose of getting their good linkage.

I do like that you want to empower the user, and in that concept let me toss a couple ideals by you.

How about grouped searches, ie a series of dot boxes that let the user choose where they want to search from. The ideal is that maybe I only want to search buliton boards because I only want to see what others are saying about this or that. Or I just want to look at sale pages as I am looking to buy, or review pages as I want to see how something ranks. Or then again maybe I'm not sure exactly where I want to look, but I know I am not likely to find my answer in blogs, or buliton bords, etc.

Another helpful tool would be to be able to elinimate an entire domain from my search results, and / or domains that link to it

I am happy with your engine, found a new contact, hopefolly a new co consperiter.

Best Wishes!
