You may not know this but there’s a challenger to search engine Google all the way from Paris, France. Worldoo.info is a new and “independent search engine aiming to break Google’s stranglehold on the industry.”

Established in Paris in 2012 as a purely French-language engine, Worldoo has now grown both in functionality & ambition. It’s now available in English, German, Spanish, Chinese & Arabic.

In contrast with existing search engines, Worldoo says it has done away with features such as auto-suggestion & pagination, relying instead on a unique “Made in France” algorithm & a database of over 10 million Websites. With a typical search returning results in less than 1 second, users can be confident of finding the information they need, when they need it.

These guys have their revenue model in place. Organizations wishing to advertise through this new search engine can submit their Site for inclusion in the database completely free of charge. Alternatively, for  €9.90 / month, businesses can secure a prominent position at the top of any list of relevant results.

The recent revelations surrounding surveillance & confidentiality may have left many Online users wary of disclosing personal information but Worldoo says its users need not worry for their data will be kept secure & neither sold to nor shared with 3rd parties.

New search engine claims to provide “more accurate and relevant” results than Google

Posted on March 10, 2014 by

Search engine snipesearch.co.uk is among the top 1000 Websites in the UK based on the number of visitors it receives every day. Popular search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing rule the roost on the Internet but new search engine SnipeSearch is slowly making its presence felt because its founders say their search engine throws up relevant results without letting commercial factors influence them. And, to be fair, we did conduct some experiments & realized there was some truth in their claim.

new search engineSnipeSearch is based in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire & employs very few staff. It was founded by techies Stephen Driver & Nick Lange. The duo were discussing search engine rankings & results a few years ago & both agreed that many search engines were throwing up skewed results. They often found that the regular sites they used disappeared in the search results for unknown reasons.

Driver & Lange became concerned that search engines may be preoccupied with profit than accuracy, and so decided to launch their own search engine to counter this trend. Initially, SnipeSearch utilized meta tools to provide accurate results after collating data thrown up by other search Websites. But this was an expensive method & Snipesearch also had to rely on its competitors.

This new search engine’s founders thought this was against their core value which was to provide impartial & accurate results. Their goal was not turning a profit. So snipesearch modified its algorithm & started using independent indexing. It still gathers results from other search engines but indexes them using its own system. As a result, SnipeSearch says it provides more options to users & also throws up more results than even Google.

Stephen Driver has claimed that SnipeSearch was becoming popular because it attracted repeat visitors who came to the Site for its accurate results, email service, video search option & the 100,000 songs they could listen to on the search engine’s social network. SnipeSearch also claims to be more secure as it safeguards users’ privacy.
