Site claims to be Web's Biggest search engine
4 February 2005
A new search engine, the Web's Biggest (www.websbiggest.com), claims to search more websites than any other search engine.
Web's Biggest is has licensed the whois database, which contains all internet domain names, enabling it to search almost every website in the English-speaking world. Other search engines rely on hyperlinks and manual submissions to find websites.
"Other search engines missed from a third to more than half of the websites in the Web's Biggest search results," according to company spokesperson Adam Radly. The company has even set up a random search page so the public can verify its claims.
Web's Biggest search results comes from its own web crawler and the company uses the information gathered by their spider to summarise what each website is about. Users then search website summaries, resulting in a supposedly superior way of finding the top sites on a particular topic. Web's Biggest ranks search results using licensed website traffic data.
"Website traffic is a more accurate indication of how popular a website is than hyperlinks which tend to favor academic and reference sites over truly popular ones," Mr Radly explained.
Web's Biggest lets webmasters add or revise the descriptions of their site free of charge and even allows searchers to change the descriptions of websites they are familiar with. The search engine stores all past descriptions of websites in a database so users can undo or correct descriptions.
This process makes Web's Biggest the world's biggest "wiki," too. Wiki is software that allows users to collectively author web documents.
The company claims that more than 20,000 webmasters have written praises of the search engine, according the company.
