NEWS: A Search Engine, Better Than Google
Google is keeping a close eye on a small, suburban Melbourne start-up that claims to be developing a search engine that improves on the world leader. MyLiveSearch is fundamentally different in the way that it works. Google's search engine works by building a vast index of web pages, via automated "spiders" that crawl through billions of web pages a year. However this represents only a fraction of the enormous, sprawling internet, and the index can never be entirely up to date. Yahoo! search and (despite its name) Microsoft's Live search work the same way.
MyLiveSearch is fundamentally different. It works through a small browser plug-in. The search terms are put through Google, or other indexed search databases, but those results are treated as "starting points" alongside the user's bookmarks and other popular web hubs. From there, the live search takes over, crawling through hundreds of web pages connected to those starting points in search of more information relevant to the search.

Oh I see lawsuits in abundance... not least because of the name...
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
