Well, I just plugged in a search on AIPAC and "Accoona News" found this article, Why so much aid to Israel? that Google News fails to find...

I don't trust it. ACCOONA is owned by Stuart Kauder. Check out this story:

http://www.mpturner.net/2004/12/slick_gets_a_job.html :

According to this AP Story, Slick Willie is joining forces with the Communist Chinese in the interest of "business."

Former president Bill Clinton on Monday helped launch a new Internet search company backed by the Chinese government which says its technology uses artificial intelligence to produce better results than Google Inc. "I hope you all make lots of money," Clinton told executives at the launch of Accoona Corp., which donated an undisclosed amount to the William J. Clinton Foundation.

So Slick sold out for an "undisclosed amount" of cash contributed to the Hilary 2008...I mean the Slick Willie Foundation. Interesting. More on the deal and the company, called Accoona:

The Chinese government, one of several large backers, has granted Accoona a 20-year exclusive partnership with the China Daily Information Co., the government agency that runs an official Chinese and English Web site. The new company's executives include chairman Eckhard Pfeiffer, the former chief executive of Compaq Corp., and Stuart Kauder, a former business development director at online advertising company DoubleClick Inc.

Wonder where they got the name Accoona? Wonder no more:

Accoona takes its name from the Swahili phrase, "accoona matata," for "no worries," popularized by Disney's film, "The Lion King."

You can access their search engine here. I wonder how many of the search results have been 'filtered out' by the Commie minders and watchers. I would advise you to use this crappy search tool at your own risk. Think Tianamen Square. Think Slick Willie. Think super spammer and spybot king Stuart Kauder.

Feneration is slow death of community and culture.

I typed "economy danger inflation america" into both of them.

Accoona found 60,534 results. The #1 result was a Business Week article from January 31, 2000.

Special Report: The New Economy
The New Economy
It works in America. Will it go global?

It seems almost too good to be true. With the information technology sector leading the way, the U.S. has enjoyed almost 4% growth since 1994. Unemployment has fallen from 6% to about 4%, and inflation just keeps getting lower and lower. Leaving out food and energy, consumer inflation in 1999 was only 1.9%, the smallest increase in 34 years.

This spectacular boom was not built on smoke and mirrors. Rather, it reflects a willingness to undertake massive risky investments in innovative information technology, combined with a decade of retooling U.S. financial markets, governments, and corporations to cut costs and increase flexibility and efficiency. The result is the so-called New Economy: faster growth and lower inflation.

Google found 2,040,000 results. The #1 result was from The Economist, January 12, 2006.

Danger time for America
The economy that Alan Greenspan is about to hand over is in a much less healthy state than is popularly assumed.

If the goal of a search engine is to see to it that the first thing you read is relevant, then Google won hands down. Accoona's #1 find, on the other hand, gave me a much bigger laugh (the new economy works in America, no smoke and mirrors, hahaha! ;)).

To be fair, Accoona also found Google's top pick as its second result. Too bad it thought a 6 year old story was even more relevant though.

When prosperity comes, do not use all of it. - Confucious
The nation is prosperous on the whole, but how much prosperity is there in a hole? - Will Rogers
There are 9,000 hedge funds out there. There aren't that many smart people in the world. - Michael Driscoll, a trader at Bear Stearns & Co. in New York
Some days you just want to pull out the Bonehead Stick and beat people senseless. - mirage

Accoona is not as good as Google - "failure" brings up W in 2nd place, Google has him as #1

FYI, a new search engine to check out.

So far I'd give it poor marks, starting with anomalous behavior and no 'useage' page to explain the allowed syntax of search criteria, ending with it didn't find what MSN or 'All the Web' found, but it did produce more irrelevant hits than did Google, but then Google's got some problems at present.

I'd like to see a good competitive alternative to Google, but Accoona isn't it, yet.

Have you tried Clusty? It's different and the more I use it, the more I like it. Also, they don't track your searches.

Have you tried Clusty?

Yes, I do use it some times, especially when I've not figured out how to narrow my search and Google is giving me millions of hits.

But Clusty does not seem to understand that a search for "some string of words within quotes" means I only want to see articles with that exact phrase, but Clusty (as does other engines) supplements the hits with irrelevant stuff based on each word within the string being treated as an independant keyword, which isn't what I wanted.

Well, competition has to start somewhere. I wouldn't hold my breath for one that's "perfect". With Acconna & Clusty, at least it seems the search engine market is once again becoming competitive.

BTW: I have a better name for the software .... Microsoft Internet Exploder.

I never cared for dogpile but my husband loves it. I loved google, but I am very disturbed by all the news lately how much they track everyone. I am trying to wean myself off of it.
