Hi, all.

Found this in my logs:

66.237.60.48 - - [18/Jul/2002:04:09:46 -0500] "GET /quiz.htm HTTP/1.0" 200 6886 "-" "Openfind data gatherer, Openbot/3.0+([e-mail];+http://www.openfind.com.tw/robot.html)"

Went to the url in it and found a brand new search engine...looks like it may be oriental....I didn't dig too deep.

thought you might be interested.

ann,

openfind beta launched recently with a massive database. They still have some work to do on the SERPs but it look promising.

There was a thread around here somewhere about it but I cannot find it at the moment. I'll post it when I do.

Wow!

Openfind and looksmarts wisenutbot snagged two of my sites today and got it all!

I just ran it through my test serps (US towns) and I'm very impressed. This beta does a darn good job.

I cannot find an English page at [openfind.com.tw...]

But this suggests it not so new: ºôÀºOpenfind©ó1998¦

[added:] But ... [openfind.com...]
