6. A form of search that depends on design. Google doesn’t have a lot of weaknesses. One of the biggest is that they have no sense of design. They do the next best thing, which is to keep things sparse. But if there were a kind of search that depended a lot on design, a startup might actually be able to beat Google at search. I don’t know if there is, but if you do, we’d love to hear from you.
So I begin to find an easy way to catch the target of Y Combinator.
1.Design
The first should be design, tell the truth, my designs is not so good, many times I hated my designs, so the best way is to place a plateform, in this platform, the designers can design freely.
So I selected wordpress, it is not only platform for blog, also can be themed to be BBS, Miniblog, SNS, ect, including Search Engine. In fact, I have tried a Search Engine looking theme last year, so this work is not so hard.
2.Engine
Without engine, this wordpress theme is only just a theme, it can not make a wordpress to be real search engine. We need a engine, a motor, to give the boy a strong heart.
Yahoo BOSS API, exactly the our wanting.
So, the themed search engine is born, I call it zuosa, cause I working in a company named zuosa Inc.
It is just the begining, I wish all the designers that designed wordpress theme, pause your recent work, and to cost several hours to design your themed search engine.
Please cilck the image below to test my work.
You may notice I did some special work:
1.Sync to miniblog
I use zuosa to sync all searches at this themed search engine. And, I offered two widgets for display the recent searching and the recent comments for the searching, you can embed the widget into any pages.
2.Archived search results
I archived the search results into posts, this can prevent the hosting suspended, read from outside really cost CPUs. Infact, if host on Yahoo Cloud calculate, no need to archive.
I wrote at some posts before, said, BOSS Search API+Yahoo hosting=Cloud Search Engine. This time, I want to say:
BOSS, the engine of the search engines, the king of the kings.
Notes: The articles from TechCrunch gave me the thinkings, thanks for the wonderful news from TechCrunch.
