Is there really no API available, like for Google, Yahoo (nice one!) Any plans ? If not, is there no problem (I mean legally) in accessing the engine programmatically, with high frequency? Any plans on integrating blogs? (news) ? I love the 'NEAR' operator so much ;) (and Google hasn't one) 1405 1455 There are more languages needed. My favorits: * Traditional Chinese * Simplified Chinese * Russian * Japanese * Dutch * Spanish - done! * Italien - done! 797 2948 Tried Exalead - searched for "Frökatalog" (you need not understand what that is...). Most hits are not pages about Frökatalog, they are random pages where there is a Google Ad for Frökatalog. Could be easily avoided by just excluding things from indexing if they have that typical url to "pageadX.googlesyndication.com...". Google itself does it, it does not show these hits. Thanks / Jens 2412 13330 Felicitation pour ce moteur de recherche tres 'clean' et performant. Une petite suggestion toutefois: Ce serait vraiment bien d'avoir une page d'acceuil Exalead alternative ne chargeant que le strict necessaire pour faire une recherche (le logo, le champ de texte, et quelques liens). Ainsi Exalead deviendrait une alternative de choix au geant google pour tout ceux qui souhaitent demarrer leur navigateur sur un moteur de recherche efficace sans pour autant penaliser le temps de chargement. 735 3228 I would like to know if when I sign in Exalead it keeps a record of all my searches as Google does, and if it Exalead does the same then I would like to know how to delete it. 2445 7694 Exalead's result pages are full of Spam, for example: http://www.exalead.com/search?action=search&q=lista+server+emule&x=0&y=0 I suggest a solution: use an automatic bayesian spam-filter based on users' input. You should build a community like dmoz.org with an "anti-spam" proupose, a sort of Spam Cops Squad. Humans do it better, and they can do it in their mother tongue, because exalead is european, and the spam is not only in english. sorry for my poor english, bye. 1588 4447 Hello, Exalead is really great - but so many peoples don't know about it. (At least in Munich, Germay) So, I think you should make more and better PR. Some examples: *One of the most famous IT-Newspage in Germany is heise.de - they have there news about every little nothing - but there had just been one article about Exalead. There had been no article about your new Design and about you reached an indexsize of 8 Billion ... *suchfibel.de lists hundreds of search engines - but not exalead! There are also search-engines-news - but none about Exalead. *I had been writing big parts of the (German + English) Wikipedia article about Exalead. But I could make it much better if I could use the Exalead Symbols (had not found if I'm allowed to do) and if you would give some more Informations about exalead (I already have watched corporate.exalead.com). So, this are my impressions, Michi 1245 2948 Hi!! Some of you have requested an Exalead email service. what is up ? 777 1456 I was sitting here thinking about this idea and thinking about how exalead would accomplish it and well, i really really doubt it would be worth the time and efforts to translate a feedback page into a global environment. What could be presented in a more efficient manor would be creating a feed between the different langauge portals into one portal with just the most informative and most rated items being translated and shown, instead of translating every single article into every single language. When you globalize a forum you basically limit the forum to users, but combining the best and most popular messages throughout the language portals into one portal would utilize every single portal at the same time with no limits of who can come up with a great idea. I read a lot of security articles from other countries, because for one security is maybe more lax in that country but i still have to translate it. Learning methods and ideas from foreigners is the key element of learning through the internet and expanding. Smart people exist in every single culture and speak every single language. No need to shy away from one or the other, when you can combine them all and give every single culture and background and language portal the same environment for feedback and ideas. Many people like to help out or reach out, but maybe the language barrier intimidates them. Submitting great ideas in france not only gets them well known in france and gets their idea worked on to where maybe they can even help, but also gives them credibility in the community as a whole to english contributors as well as spanish contributors if implemented this way. At the same time gives everyone else in the community a chance to help that portal, because at times different portals may go through different changes and ideas, but everyone world wide still wishes to help as a whole. Just a thought though, seemed logical and way way less work load. A small team could collaborate information through a system that collects it from the portals and makes sure it is properly translated. With programs and automation so easily produced, a lot of the work is left up to software and little up to management... 2521 7820 People get sick and tired of having to sign up for multiple accounts everywhere, and OpenID provides a real alternative to it. Seeing as you're trying to market yourselves as being easy-to-use, convenient, etc, I think letting people sign into Exalead with OpenID would help enhance that image. And, you'd attract more usage from members of the OpenID community. So basically, could you let people sign in with OpenID, instead of having to get an account with you? www.openid.net 1968 8866 what about viewing pdf (and other documentation filetypes) as html it is very useful and some other engines already do it. i don't know even if this is parsed on the fly or while crawling. 2686 12799 What are the reasons why you are using exalead? What would be the reasons to make you definetly change your search engine to exalead? 2057 1456 Hello, Wikis, like Wikipedia, are a controversial concept - many people like them, but others hate them. The Wikipedia is the biggest and best known wiki, but there are also a lot of other wikis. So wouldn't it be a nice idea, if you would create a technology, which recognizes if a site is a wiki - the technology should recognize wikis, running with MediaWiki, MoinMoin, TWiki, PmWiki, DokuWiki. Then, you an add an option to the Advanced search and the personal settings, how wikis should be treated in the search results. I would use a drop-down-box, with the options: *Only search wikis *Prefer wikis *Handle like other sites (default) *discriminate wikis *ignore wikis You could also put this into the "Refine your search"-box. (Hope my English is not so bad... please ask if you don't understand ;) Hope you don't dislike this idea! I think, in this way, the people can choose better, what they are searching for. Michi 1599 2948 Translations of Exalead based in the work of the community (as Rosetta for the Ubuntu community) 2457 13885 Hello everyone, We've developed a new search feature for the firefox browser.
