Just focus on developing your search engine and don't try to prove that you are pioneers in this feature, just try to make other features and leave this one for Onkosh because they deserve it.

By the way, Yamli just lists permutations and the user selects -- Onkosh is more intelligent to suggest the most probable one? (if they jusy show more suggestions, they would probably beat Yamli -- that honestly, i see it as someone who just ripped off a good idea of someone else!!) cheers to everyone :) Hi Karim,

So the claims about inventing the idea is totally ridiculous and does not hold !

However Onkosh has been hosted since Jan 2007, long before Yamli. We know the company that owns Onkosh and they r professionals. Honesty is a key factor of success and law is gonna prove that Onkosh was born long before Yamli.
