The More Words You Search, the Less You Find

Exalead is a search engine based on the "and" rule. It assumes everything you enter should reside on the same web page. It also finds those sites with the occurrence of these words as close as possible to one another at the top of the search list. There are some preferences such as searching the entire web or just one language. I must admit I found a couple of items out there that never showed up in earlier Google searches. That's not so much a shortcoming of Google but just a different approach to searching that is taken by Exalead. Interesting search engine.

  • From my point of view Exalead is another macro content search engine with old fashioned snippets and I don't see where they take their confidence from when they try to compete with Google which is the best in this macro content field.
