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 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 There are more languages needed. My favorits: * Traditional Chinese * Simplified Chinese * Russian * Japanese * Dutch * Spanish - done! * Italien - done! 797 2948 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 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 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 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 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 One of the key features i use ExaLead for is to not have my query search return mostly jibberish and weak informative sites, as does other search engines. ExaLead has the best top site return as well, when it comes to the first 20 results, they are most of the time very good sites. Ever thought of integrating instead of how fast your query was, because now most search results are less than 1 second and minute as far as informative, maybe something that compares exalead search results to other results from other search engines. Comparing the number of sites returned for your query as being maybe way way more informative and on point when it comes to returning the results. IE: During a normal search result you may return EXALEAD returned 1700 trusted sites and 50 nontrusted sites compared to another competitor search engine site returning maybe 600 trusted sites and 1500 non-trusted sites... Simply to show how accurate the search query results get in retrospect, because honestly, people get really really tired of going to other search engines and having to goto the 3rd page before they begin to see trusted sites instead of advertiseing sites that forward you to things you didn't wish to find in the first place. Just my thought though mosthated 1744 7820 Translations of Exalead based in the work of the community (as Rosetta for the Ubuntu community) 2457 13885 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 One blogger offered a suggestion that makes a lot of sense. He said, "Exalead has that little preview window next to each result from a search. Great, but unless you have microscopic vision, its relatively useless. To see the image you still have to click into it. What would be cool is if they could have the image expand to a readable size when you rolled over it. That would be super useful from a recruiters perspective (i.e. when your results are resumes or CVs)." Think this would be a great improvement! 387 1478 It would be great if I could add exalead as a searchengine for the searchbar of my Firefox webbrowser. That should not be hard to program. 803 3512 Over the exalead search-bar you can choose if search among Web, Images or Wikipedia. Great, but Exalead can search also for video files, audio files, weblogs and forums. Why don't add this features over the search-bar? Or better: Why don't let the users decide? Sorry for my poor english. 2868 4447
