One more search engine. Cool or useless?

I am a web programmer who worked for this project:

http://www.crendel.com

Is it cool or useless? One can search the Web and the Directory and save results.

You opinion please. Don't be nice. Please your real thoughts.

One thing I don't like about it is that it takes a few seconds longer to output results. Also, the front page could seem a little confusing to the casual web surfer because of all the selections. Otherwise, I do like the premise of the site. It just needs a little more tweaking.

Seems ok. Agree it takes a little longer to return results which is pretty important. You're obviously providing many options to search through the site, but so do many others. I think you're offering more options than usual, but other sites offer a comparison between engines on the same search which can be useful.

I'm not sure what benefit searching the crendel directory is at the moment since most categories I went to were empty at the moment.

I think the main benefit I see in the engine is the ability to access many other search engines from one place. Crendel isn't unique in that, though it does seem to offer more choices than I usually find. I would prefer to be able to choose several of the different engines for a single search and see either a comparison between the engines I selected or a set of results that uses each engine to provide it's own unique set of results.

I'm down with it.

Seriously, the length of time is a major issue.

That, and where and how your results are drawn. I don't recall ever submitting to the Crendel directory for anything. Where do they come from? Do you have a crawler? How would the rest of us recognize it as a safe crawler?

It also looks a little busy on the front page.

Other than that, it works cool. Results are relevant for the most part (although you're gonna need some spam filtering at some point down the road...

http://www.crendel.com/searchWD.php?...20web%20design

That first listing has some major noframe spam action happening. (Mind you, these guys have managed to slip through the nets of all the major SEs so far so you're far from the only one.)

Thank you for your comments.

I made some major changes on the front page. It is better now (I hope)

About the search time. Now I am using shared hosting and thing will go faster when I rent dedicated server. I am looking for a responce to decide about spending money for this server.

I'm looking at the site again and liking it more. What I said above still applies, but I like the idea of the website review and think saving the results coule prove useful.

Are you seeing the search engine as one geared more fro webmasters, or more toward the general searcher?

I'll keep looking deeper when I have more time, but I do think you might have a few good ideas here.

Thank you for your comments.

I think this site is 50/50 for searchers and webmasters

Part for searcher is done (but it is never will be finished - always a room to make it better).

Now I am finishing programming of review service
