A lateral shift, a welcome change – awesome work – keep it up Kosmix team !!

Clearly does not seem to be an attempt to offer “yet another search-engine to compete with Google”; instead here is something that’s added an un-explored & creative dimension to exploring the web. So I envision Kosmix giving a healthy competition to Google, and both to co-exist as useful & powerful search-engines.

Looking forward to the go-live !

All the best !

Thanks for the comments! Tony, we don’t support advanced search yet, but will look to add some options in the future. The only similar support we offer today is when we explicitly have disambiguation suggestions at the top; e.g., you can look at different aspects of the query “mentor” here: http://www.kosmix.com/topic/mentor – you can pick between mythology, mentorship, the company or the city.

Vish, you should be able to enter keywords into the search box before the whole page loads. Can you tell us the browser/OS on which you noticed these issues?

With the new homepage, Kosmix could be the place to go when people just want to know “what’s happening” without first choosing a lens through which to see the internet (entertainment, hard news, etc.).

I also like the disambiguation techniques you’re working on. Are you using proprietary tech, or open semantic ontologies?

Great work!

I read about you guys in some news links today and felt interested. Heard that once you offered Sergey & Larry to sell Google !!! That is GREAT… Anyway, I expected some different search results like Yahoo & Cuil. But you guys are offering mostly the Google result which is offered by many using customized Google search. A good example is http://www.cooqle.co.cc …….Would love to see how you differentiate yourself from Cooqle in terms of searching. Waiting to see the search market dominated by 2 Indian ….All the Best.

Guys,

Very impressive concept with a neat execution. My homepage has been Google for years – yesterday I discovered your site, was wowed, and changed it from Google to Kosmix. Best wishes for a successful future!
