a) it needs javascript, which I seldom enable/trust.
b) it does not work in falkon, even with js enabled.
Early days, but it takes a LOT of knowledge, effort and luck to set up a google-breaker.

Well, it found things you can't easily see on the mainstream search, but that might be because its DB is much smaller.
Added: I found a lot of FB information.

Some wildly wrong answers to certain questions. The kind of questions that can go viral...

It reminds me of the old "Ask Jeeves", where you ask a question instead of the traditional search items. It seems to work. I put in some Chinese language requests, but the results were not very related to the request. At least the results were in Chinese. I should play with it more.

I'm finding some even more material not in the mainstream.
I'm not exactly sure if there's a business opportunity here because the content doesn't seem to be readily available in the real traffic drivers.

Took a look. Wasn't impressed. Wishing luck, of course!

I asked it a question and got this
Oh @#&! I'm having problems connecting to my brain.
and it offered DDG links of related search terms to try.
Growing pains.

I played around with this for awhile. I am pretty impressed with any question involving facts. Like "how big is the pacific ocean".
