Tried it on myself. I didn't realise something was online that actually
is--thought it was in hard print only, and it's relatively new. Interesting.
*chuckle* Then again, I never had reason to search for this with Google in
any fashion.
Their comparison is skewed though. They say to compare to other engines,
and they submit a meta-search. I tried Google, but the result is entirely
skewed because they didn't account for differences in parsing. Of -course-
it will bring up meaningless pages on Google. If you put in "What do you
think of filePro?" -with- quotes it would probably find nothing. You omit
quotes and it will find anything that matches what, do, you, and think, and
-maybe- filePro if you get lucky. It's just not the same kind of
technology, so the comparison is a bit over the top inasfar as trying to
prove they're actually better. I don't know if one could say better.
Different, to be sure. Better is in the eye of the beholder. It's another
option, at least (as if there weren't enough search engines already).
