The Little Guy Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 OK... First off, The name isn't going to be kept... It will change. Second, do a search. (I only have web search working) Third, add a/your site Fourth advanced search has a page, but doesn't do anything. Last Preferences doesn't have a page yet. over all, what do you think? What should I add (Something I haven't mentioned)? What should I remove? http://secret.publicsize.com Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71112-search-engine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippy_102 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Does it only search spam sites or something because I'm getting really weird results. :-\ Here's an example... Results for: genealogy displaying 1 - 1 of 1 (0.107 Seconds) video games Lifestyle Categories Education Early Childhood Education Elementary Schools Private School Colleges Parenting Baby Names Adoption Nannies Childproofing Hobby Central Genealogy... http://totally.com Sorry dude, but I'm not adding my site to a list of spam sites and domain squatters.

moberemk Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Eh. Can't say I love the colors, and though Google has proven you don't need something to be pretty for it to succeed, the site is still pretty ugly. As for the search engine, I looked up "Battlefield 2142" (over three million google results) and got nothing. Basically, there is no reason whatsoever to use your search engine.

The Little Guy Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Does it only search spam sites or something because I'm getting really weird results. :-\ So far... I have added all the sites, and I just added random sites that came to mind. Eh. Can't say I love the colors, and though Google has proven you don't need something to be pretty for it to succeed, the site is still pretty ugly. What colors do you not like? Logo? Links?

AXiSS Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 It is just ugly in general. Try a whole new color scheme, layout, and a flat logo. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71112-search-engine/#findComment-357987 Share on other sites More sharing options...

moberemk Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Better, slowly, but get rid of the thick grey borders and make them thinner at the very least; and try to make the site more rounded (the "interface like a wet bar of soap" simile).

AXiSS Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 How about some contrasting and bright colors? Your site still looks like it is stuck in the 1990's. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71112-search-engine/#findComment-360530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
