Gigablast now generates related concepts for your query called 'Giga Bits'. This SE now also allows you to type in a question like in Ask-Jeeves.

Nice find! "giga bits" is a good, brandable label for related stuff. I like it.

[sidyadav]

yep, pretty cool.

And when I try that engine - Its so fast and is fairly accurate, still can't beleive its run on 8 desktops though!

How I wish Gigablast was the most popular engine. My site is top ranked consistently on it. Time to stop telling my friends that AV is the engine of choice, it's Gigablast all the way!

This is a great engine, very cool from a webmaster standpoint to have a site instantly indexed.

It is also interesting that there are only two pure crawler-based SE's of note that do not accept paid results in the SERP's:

1) Google
2) Gigablast

GB seems positioned for success if they can build up the page index. It will be fun to watch over the coming months.

I noticed some pages are really old and not updated - my pages are 8+ months old in index - and they get updated quite often this end... does one need to resubmit for crawl?

[sidyadav]

yep, use the [gigablast.com...] one. It should get updated within minutes.

excellent - that's really cool - at least one knows when changes will get picked up :-)

[pleeker]

use the [gigablast.com...] one. It should get updated within minutes.

Or not.

Did you know that you can also use the Giga Bits feature as a keyword-density checker for your website? (just query your website's name)

Well, thats what I use it for anyway :)

In his rants he has a Q which is clickable. Reminds me of Ask's style of asking. But once I ask my question such as Who is the president of Widgetland and i find the answer I dont need to click anymore on the persons name.

[Edouard_H]

Thoroughly enjoyed asking "What is the air speed velocity of a swallow?"

[pmkpmk]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the search results look pretty much like Google. And the chached results too.

[sidyadav]

No. Those are two very different search engines.

(As I was told in this thread [webmasterworld.com] :))

I don't get it - what are those percentages supposed to mean? They can't really be Keyword Density, as the numbers go beyond 100%?

Also "President Russia?" gives another set of Gigabits (and SERPS) than "Who is President of Russia?" - although the page clearly says that: "The following query words were ignored: Who is of. Preceed each with a '+' or wrap in quotes to not ignore"

[pmkpmk]

Did a few comparisons with different keywords. The SERPS are actually different, starting with the ranking, the 3-line-excerpt and the indexing date.

So it seems only the look and feel is extremely similar, up to the color scheme used for the chached pages.

Nice find, thanks for the tip.
