NoFoodHere: Search Results In Real Time

very cool

google needs to acquire this dude

Check TWERQ - they do something very similar but it looks 100% better, has multitabs, multi-search at once, collapsing titles, saved searches, search collaboration. Click my name for my interview with the CEO.

We will see more of this type of add-on innovation as search is search, right?

Live Search had the feature of scrolling down infinitely for results when it first launched. They removed it, as users complained about it (it’s hard to keep track of things it there are no pages).

Any search engine could do this in-house, in very little time. It’s neat, unoriginal AJAX.

Lately I’ve been holding TechCrunch to high standards, but this is quite the exception.

Why post this?

Even though I don’t think that it will be the next Google, it does seem promising. I have to admit, I hate searching the old fashioned way and this might be the next big thing. The only thing that I would have a problem with is keeping up with sites that I have visited. Maybe this won’t be a problem since I bookmark every site to go back to later and when I no longer need them, I delete it.

Wow, another totally worthless company featured on TechCrunch. These features are mundane and not particularly relevant.

I guess there isn’t a new Y Bombinator company or social network left to feature. We’ve exhausted everything interesting and then some. Duncan continues to fend for the scraps while executing extremely poorly on grammatical structures in the English language.

so now we have tabs inside of tabs.. yeah thats a good idea…….
we can add some windows inside the tabs that are inside the tabs next.

Is this post serious? Is there really nothing better to post? searchers very rarely go to the second page of results because they tend to suck so why would this be useful?

This would be useful if the results kept being refined in real-time… more relevant results climbing up to the top and you only need to watch for the top ten or so…

this is a “company”??? no, this is a weekly programming assignment at a junior college. it is a ten-hour hack for a good webdev.

i am sure there is a story behind the moronic domain name, but i can’t be bothered to suss it out.

someone should tell these morons that yahoo rate-limits search apis.

in fairness after reading the “about us” blurb on the site, this is one guy just goofing off, he’s admitting as much

he seems to understand there is no business to it

Who is this Duncan you speak of?

Not sure if this is really worth mentioning. He’s got some good web skills, but definatly not newsworthy… at least not yet.

Only 5000 per day! Ugh… what timezone do they mean

This must be a really slow news day.

In other breaking news, an MIT student completes an undemanding programming homework assignment!

Seriously, what is wrong with some the readers on techcrunch. Some of these comments are just stupid and negative. If you’re not interested don’t read it. If you think you know everything, start your own company and make a billion dollars. If you know every good idea when you see it, then maybe you should be a VC.

The interface is innovative and useful. Which is probably more than most of the negative commenters here have ever accomplished in their lives.

Remember, this is just a (really) beta version. A lot more features are on the horizon.
The idea is to show off some of the things that can be done with searching, and hopefully encourage some of the larger search engines to experiment with more ‘modern’ and dynamic user interfaces. NoFoodHere is a test-bed for (hopefully good) ideas, with the end goal of improving user’s online searching experience.

I personally use the GoogleAutoPager, Greasemonkey Script for Firefox

Hmm… Techcrunch seems to have started wasting my time… Just HEADS UP!!!

I agree with whoopie and Tech Dumpster on this one. Pretty weak. Might be better to be featured on a site like eHub than TechCrunch.

Just tried to search on it but I guess the TechCrunch effect was a little too much to handle for this homework assignment :-

Sorry!

The Yahoo! Search API backend is limited to only 5,000 queries per day (imposed by Yahoo!), and that limit has been exceeded.

Please try your search again later.

In the mean time, you can view some “dummy data” to get a feel for the NoFoodHere search.

We are really sorry for this, but sadly it is out of our control.
We are working to find a better solution.

The site seems quite cool. I might have to review it on my site.

http://www.crenk.com

Very good. I like and optimistic about his future

Welcome to the http://customsearch.net

Sorry about the 5,000 queries/day limit. I am trying to get this limitation removed.

It’s a cool feature, but not enough to bring in users. I had this idea in June and made a proof-of-concept in about 3 hours. I used the Google API since I prefer Google’s results. Here is my proof of concept: http://www.paulbutler.org/arch.....le-search/ .

Reading and using this is just a waste of time. Try using this and clicking on a result and hitting back button.

Seriously these kinds of posts ruin the credibility of this site.

I also have some big news to report:

A UC Santa Cruz student in his off hours has just completed a revolutionary search engine using cutting edge HTML. The URL of this search engine (please, it’s in private beta right now, so don’t tell too many others), is called, coincidentally, http://www.noduncanhere.com .

Remarkably, the only function of this search engine is that its results only include relevant, timely, grammatically correct posts about companies that matter and guarantees not to waste anyone’s time.

I hate to say this, but I think the name is bad. It’s so hard to brand a company name, I wince every time I see things like this. But, launching an internet start up in this market while you’re still in college is pretty cool.

@ AS

Haha. That’s awesome. Come on over to TechDumpster and let’s continue the conversation.

Here’s Duncan’s response on my personal blog:

http://livinginfirstlife.wordp.....is-a-baby/

Google already does the result scrolling thing:

Dear Duncan,

Please resign as soon as possible.

Regards,
Techcrunch Readers

I have a theory: does anyone think it may be possible that Duncan is a mole hired by PaidContent.org to bring down TechCrunch?

Brilliant.

Too bad it looks ugly as sin in Opera.

“The Yahoo! Search API backend is limited to only 5,000 queries per day (imposed by Yahoo!), and that limit has been exceeded.”

Professional work.

Wow….

People see Duncan’s hype — “Please resign!!!”.

I think you should write something like this…Rags to riches versus Venture capital search. Now, I would start writing something like this.

NoFoodHere is a Australia based search engine tabs, which allows you enter search text on AJAX tabs, and delievers speedy moble content. It was done by Jordan Bayliss-McCulloch, a third-year Engineering student at the University of Melbourne;whose looking foward to pioneer soon-to-be the best web 2.0 search engine.

The site includes colorful tabs. It uses third party yahoo search engine to vechicle the newest veritcal search engine. Now, users can surf online without using annoying firefox tabbed buttons. You can simply type text on tabs and execute its workforce content.

After conducting search engine test, Jordan has done great job on his web 2.0 search engine, and showing its own search engine talent without using capital Startup funds. We looking for your newest upgrade. Best luck and success.

P.S. Duncan. In order to find rockstar entrepreneur. I think you should watch the movie called “Almost famous”.

I like to see frontpage rising star entrepreneur on Businessweek, Rolling stone, other magazines.

Jesus, whats some of your problem ?

You complain if there is no content, you compain if there is too much, you complain with whats being covered, then you complain if something isn’t.

For f*#ks sake, just enjoy the posts and shut up. What does it matter if Duncan posts this or not …. there are probably 1Mil+ TechCrunch readers … just because 0.01% of you dont like - who gives a SHIT.

If you don’t like, don’t read it, don’t post a comment and STFU.

I’ll bet you. Next Ducan’s post… Some anti-ducan readers will ask him to leave.

I was reading anti-ducan from previous posts. I assume about 78%-89% dislike ducan. They find him worst tech writers, annoying, and worst tech spammers. I don’t know what to say.

I’m also avid reader techcrunch and being base fan with mike, nick, and duncan. I don’t want to lose duncan too. I like his blogs “okay”. I’m sure he will do good job on his next posts.

This is far from newsworthy.

Given that all modern browsers now have tabbed browsing, it is hard to see how this site adds any significant value.

Reminscient of what Microsoft Live had going w/the scrolling.

@30

Dated 7/31/07:

“Grow up Duncan. I won’t be posting on TechCrunch anymore.”

Weird. Because I mean, it looks like you did again. But you said you weren’t going to. I’m really confused, it’s almost like you contradicted yourself..

@37: Try writing without your opinion mixed in with every other sentence if you want to write for TechCrunch.

@Everyone else hating Duncan: he thought it was interesting. You may not. Welcome to free thought. Regardless, the whole post took a whole 30 seconds to read. It probably took longer for you to tell everyone how much time it wasted.

@Duncan: Keep writing for the people actually interested in the content. Good job.

Yeah Duncan, don’t listen to ‘em. Keep covering the neat little projects and what not. I’m down.

I agree with Tom. As far as I’m concerned, I’m interested in a great deal of Techcrunch posts, and if there are ones that don’t appeal to me, I bypass them and move onto the next one. That’s what having your own personal opinion is all about. It’s not that hard to understand, really. Those of you saying Duncan should resign, need to grow up and get a life. Take the information from each post, whether it appeals to you or not, and move on. You never know, you might learn something.

@ All the Duncan Riley defenders

Maybe all of you can just read Duncan’s private blog. I’d prefer a feed that allowed me to not waste time on Duncan’s posts. TechCrunch is a business. Businesses cater to customers. Just because 99% of readers don’t post comments doesn’t mean that they don’t dislike his posts. The fact that such a high percentage of comments deal with Duncan’s inability to write, research, or develop thoughts, are an indication of some shortcomings.

On the other hand, if you’re a TechCrunch competitor and want Duncan to sink the ship from within, I urge you to keep supporting him under the banner of “grow up and get a life”.

Given how few of the Duncan defenders have their own blog/link, it makes me wonder how many of the defenders are Duncan himself

I have to agree with TechDumpster here. Tom/Markus/David — have you actually taken the time to read the vast majority of Duncan’s posts?

For the most part, they are poorly constructed, have nothing to do with anything relevant, and exhibit a fundamental lack of understanding in the space he is writing about.

Sampling of some of his recent posts:

* This one about a poorly conceived student-developed search engine that has no legs whatsoever

* IAC coming out with their earnings (whoopee!)

What’s upsetting to me is that he is essentially riding off the coattails of Arrington and some of the other very professional writers of this site. I can only surmise that the 3 of you are all one and the same, because no educated/knowledgeable person can make a justifiable argument in defense of Dunce-can here.

Oh man.. what to retort back.. Maybe.. we don’t need to piggyback off of TechCrunch’s popularity to get hits on our own blog? Was that alright?
