New search engine AnooX challenges Google and Yahoo
19 August 2004
A new search engine has been launched, claiming to be "a better search engine than Google or Yahoo."
AnooX is a not-for-profit engine and says it will offer click-thru advertising costs based on an innovative Patent Pending method, which strives to minimise search engine advertising prices and will share any profit made with users.
The search engine pledges to deliver more accurate search results based on the "power of the people". A new Patent Pending mechanism for generating the search result rankings - AnooX crawler+indexer - creates the initial search results, and then AnooX users (voting members) will be able to vote the search results up or down, based on keywords.
AnooX states that its mission is "to ensure that the search engine, the gateway to everything we do in today's internet economy, is accessible to all businesses, and not just those with deep pockets -- as a result help make the World a better place."
The company points out that by 2006 Search engine revenues will approach an estimated $10 billion a year and says it aims to reduce this revenue projection to $1 billion, transferring the reduction to businesses worldwide, rather than "making a few Silicon Valley insiders billionaires".
The full AnooX Search Engine is slated to be open to the public on November 31st, but the pre-release site is now open and can be accessed at www.anoox.com.
