There is a story on this on cnn.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/BUSINESS/07/28/google.rival.ap/index.html

So, will this search engine have a chance?

Discuss.

I like its format, but it was down quite a bit this morning. If anything this is appealing because its a return to the no-muss no-fuss approach of early search engines before they became so bloated.

I agree, the site just went up today, so I imagine the cnn/drudge stories probably slashdotted it for bandwidth.

Only issue i've had so far is that searching for Evilbore lists the mainsite at result 7 for me, lol.

No results because of high load...

Due to excessive load, our servers didn't return results. Please try your search again.

Keep getting this. When searches do go through it seems pretty good.

Yea, I imagine since it was on the big news sites, that they are getting creamed with hits/search requests. Some of which are likely being made by google employees nonstop.
