New search engine
#1
Here is a new search engine that does not resemble the familiar ones (google, lycos, yahoo...). It took some time to get acquianted with it, but it works pretty well: [url:11gal5w5]http://www.quintura.com/[/url].

Doesn't work with Netscape.

I tried using it in Internet Explorer, and it doesn’t seem very practical, first it only gives one answer, and second, they’re all from the same address. If I were looking for a little diversity in answers or multiple description, I wouldn’t find it.

I put in Gladius and followed the path along and ended up with only one answer. I really didn’t see the point of it, when I could get a description easer by using the other search engines.

Personally, I’d have to pass on it.

Thanks anyway Jona for passing it along.

Hi Jona,
if you liked Quintura, you should definitely try KartOO.

I have to say that I wasn't thrilled after a couple of searches with the new engine. I think I'll stick to Google! Smile

I think the idea is that you can search more in an associative manner. Idea is good, execution leaves something to be desired.
