search the internet

The internet comprises of billions of web pages, and other documents. Searching the web is only made easy because of the amount of research and development done by modern search engine companies. Using closely guarded indexing algorithms, search engines jump between linked web pages and other documents on the world wide web indexing them in minute detail.

But while all the big name search engines use state of the art technology to come up with their own internet indexes gofromhere.com employ slightly more down to earth ways to measure each engines performance.

We've done quite a bit of research on how people search the internet and the kind of things they are trying to find. Understanding why people use the world wide web is, of course, a key factor. The pie chart below shows the results of our survey into what people use the web for.

With this information we rated search engine performances using the Relational Units of Bona fide Browser Intensified Short Hotlinks method. Using the R.U.B.B.I.S.H method enabled us to see a varying scale of results from each engine, allowing us to get a broader picture of the kind of differences one search engine might have from the next.

The final challenge in the review process is to 'feel the color' of each search engine. This involved sitting in front of the computer while on the individual engines website, humming in a very deep voice with our eyes closed and legs crossed in a very uncomfortable way. Surprisingly this process alone can take up to two weeks.

So now you know the science behind each review on gofromhere.com.

In truth each search engine is reviewed using a number of popular search terms as well as being used 'day to day' in real world situations. The reviews are based on nothing more scientific than the opinion of the websites creator, Simon Jones.
