"Look out Google, here come the Aussies".... I'm Australian, and I have nothing to do with MyLiveSearch, and nor does MyLiveSearch depict the state of software technology or innovation in Australia. So why the wise-crack? You've just labeled the entire Australian search industry under the banner of these amateur guys in one foul swoop. Not fair man.

Unless every website pings you when they have new contents, there is no way they can crawl every single site in real time to get real time information. So it has to be limited in scope, e.g., to blogs. I just want to find what I need, which none of the search engines today can deliver. For example, I was just trying to search for "spyware that takes screenshots" with and without quote, no luck. Anyone knows of information on spyware that takes screenshots? Real time?

I think sites like Swicki have it a lot closer than the rest of these folks, given any particular data-set most people probably slick on one of five or so things based on what they are actually searching for. If you could "digg deeper" into your search and find out the context under which most people choose what they did, I think search results could be substantially improved. We are supposed to be in Web 2.0 or whatever, when are some of the mainstream engines going to start building community features around their results. I'm not saying that the wisdom of the mobs is perfect, but if you add that to solid math, you'll probably end up with more contextually relevant results.
